Business Analyst (Unison), (P-2), TA (364) days, Post # 124457, PFP, Geneva, Switzerland
UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
UNICEF is embarking on an accelerated effort to increase uptake and systematic usage of UNISON – the UNICEF-adapted Salesforce customer relationship management system (CRM) across the spectrum of its partnerships management function. The goal is to maintain and manage all donor partner relationships on UNISON globally (horizontally and vertically), driving revenue growth and promoting partnership knowledge-sharing and coordination, tracking of income and pipeline funding, and enabling increased financial and non-financial support to drive results for children.
The UNISON Business Analyst will play a critical role, translating the business needs of the Public Partnerships Division (PPD) particularly at HQ, but also at Country Office and Regional Office level to the Technical Team and ensuring efficient collaboration to maximize output of the Project.
For every child, a Champion
Under the direct supervision of the Sr. Project Manager (UNISON), the Salesforce Business Analyst is expected to work in the planning, design, development, testing, roll-out and support of the public CRM solution with the Salesforce platform. The incumbent will be a vital link between the business and technical teams and be responsible for drafting documents, consulting and coordinating with relevant HQ teams as well as Country Offices and Regional Offices, to support effective integration and drive user adoption for public sector partnerships.
This role is expected to take ownership for coordination across teams working on public partnerships, responding to operational issues, and communicating to the wider team. The incumbent will demonstrate strong ability to effectively self-manage priorities and be able to collaborate effectively between end users and technical teams.
The incumbent will work closely with the Sr. Project Manager (UNISON), Business Relations Management team, business stakeholders, and technical team (Salesforce Solution lead, Integration developer, Salesforce support resources, contracted providers of Salesforce apps) in roll out and adoption of the technical solution. The focus will be primarily on solutions and uptake for teams working on public sector partnerships across the organization.

We offer a wide range of benefits to our staff, including paid parental leave, breastfeeding breaks and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. UNICEF strongly encourages the use of flexible working arrangements.
UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. UNICEF also adheres to strict child safeguarding principles. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.
Remarks
UNICEF PFP-Geneva is currently reviewing organizational changes; therefore, the successful candidates may be asked to commence duties remotely, and they may later be asked to relocate and be assigned to the final post-duty station/location in Berlin.
UNICEF appointments are subject to medical clearance. Issuance of a visa by the host country of the duty station, which will be facilitated by UNICEF, is required for IP positions. Appointments may also be subject to inoculation (vaccination) requirements, including against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid). Government employees that are considered for employment with UNICEF are normally required to resign from their government before taking up an assignment with UNICEF. UNICEF reserves the right to withdraw an offer of appointment, without compensation, if a visa or medical clearance is not obtained, or necessary inoculation requirements are not met, within a reasonable period for any reason.
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and advance to the next stage of the selection process.
And we never give up.
