Accounts Assistants in the Financial Management Centre in Supply Division are responsible for different finance related tasks for an area of responsibility, contributing to effective financial funds management and timely and accurate financial reporting of transactions, supporting the achievement of partner satisfaction, protecting the interests of UNICEF through effective and efficient use of systems, procedures and processes, and delivering focused customer-service to internal and external stakeholders.

This involves submitting details such as personal information, education, experience, languages, skills and work preferences. Please note that for this roster application, there is no need to upload the financial proposal nor the writing sample or list of publication or portfolio of your works even though this is an option in the application questionnaire when submitting your application as we will not review these documents.
