Background Information - PSC Project Units
Within the Peace and Security Cluster (PSC) of the New York Portfolios Office (NYPO), the Programme Support Specialist plays a vital role in linking field and HQ deliverables, supporting the Head of Project Unit (HPU), who serves as Project Manager for one or more projects within the country or territory, and the Head of Programme (HoP) who serves as Project Executive and supervises the HPU.
Reporting to the HoP, the Programme Support Specialist performs a multi-disciplinary mix of programme and project management, oversight, assurance and control activities which enable the HPU to deliver projects within the specified project tolerances of time, cost, quality, scope, risk and benefits, in accordance with organizational standards and rules.
Assisted by a Programme Support Analyst, the Programme Support Specialist verifies that Implementation Plans are fit-for-purpose, using Legal Agreements and shared understanding of the terms, conditions, and respective roles and responsibilities of the partners/ stakeholders to ensure that project outputs meet the business cases of both UNOPS and its partners.
