Job Description
Background:
UN Women is dedicated to the advancement of gender equality and the empowerment of women, with a mission rooted in the principles of the United Nations Charter. Its efforts focus on eliminating discrimination against women and girls, enhancing women’s empowerment, and fostering an equitable environment where gender equality prevails in development, human rights, humanitarian work, and peace and security.
As part of its broader commitment, the Unstereotype Alliance has emerged as a transformative force in the advertising landscape, leveraging the industry as a vehicle for social change. This initiative aims to dismantle harmful stereotypes present in media and advertising, advocating for the representation of diverse identities—encompassing race, class, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, language, and education—to help fashion an equitable world. The Alliance unites a global coalition of corporate leaders intent on driving the agenda of gender equality and eradicating bias in advertising.
To bring about meaningful change, the Unstereotype Alliance has developed its National Expansion Programme (NEP), which enables the mission to resonate at local and national levels. In alignment with this goal, the UA Secretariat is seeking to recruit a Junior Project Coordination Consultant who will play a pivotal role in supporting the strategic and operational development of this critical workstream.

The Junior Project Coordination Consultant will report directly to the Head of the Unstereotype Alliance Secretariat (HUAS) and will assist the NEP Specialist in coordinating and managing the NEP.

The consultant will provide comprehensive support in various domains, including strategy, operations, administration, finance, and communications, catering to existing and prospective National Chapters as well as UN Women Country Office colleagues.
The responsibilities extend to overseeing the Due Diligence process for current and prospective global members, assisting with significant events (such as the Cannes Lions Festival and UN General Assembly), coordinating communications, and maintaining essential digital platforms for member engagement.
