Job Description

Background:

UN Women is committed to advancing gender equality and empowering women worldwide, as articulated in the United Nations Charter. The organization’s mission focuses on eliminating discrimination against women and girls and ensuring equal opportunities for their participation in development, human rights, humanitarian action, as well as peace and security.

A significant initiative under UN Women is the Unstereotype Alliance, which serves as a global platform aimed at leveraging the power of advertising to drive positive social change. The core objective of the alliance is to eradicate harmful stereotypes in media and advertising while promoting a more inclusive representation of diverse identities including race, class, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and education. By unifying a coalition of leading private sector stakeholders, the Alliance works towards the common goal of eliminating gender bias from advertising practices globally.

To effectively implement its vision at the grassroots level, the Unstereotype Alliance has launched the National Expansion Programme (NEP). This initiative seeks to activate the Alliance’s goals and mission within specific countries, enhancing local engagement and sustainability. The UA Secretariat is seeking to recruit a dedicated Junior Project Coordination Consultant to play a pivotal role in the strategic and operational aspects of this initiative.

Role Overview:

Reporting directly to the Head of the Unstereotype Alliance Secretariat (HUAS), the Junior Project Coordination Consultant will work closely with the NEP Specialist to oversee and manage ongoing activities related to the NEP. This includes maintaining the operational momentum for the existing twelve National Chapters located in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, and the UK. Additionally, the consultant will support preparations for the upcoming launch of two new National Chapters in China and Indonesia by mid-2026.

  • Prepare briefing notes and strategic contributions for engagement in global initiatives and events, such as Cannes Lions and UNGA.
  • Collect and analyze impact data from National Chapters for reporting purposes, ensuring accurate tracking for the UA’s annual report.
  1. Provide Operational and Administrative Support:
  • Collaborate with the PSP Due Diligence Help Desk to enhance submission processes and align with the Private Sector Engagement strategy.
  • Review and analyze incoming member requests, performing initial Due Diligence checks where necessary.
