About the role

UN Secretariat, within the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT), seeks a Programme Officer to develop, implement, and evaluate counter-terrorism programmes and capacity-building initiatives with national counterparts and UN partners. The role involves research, policy development, budget coordination, and preparing analytical outputs. Strong communication, leadership, and collaboration skills are essential, with English as required and French/Arabic as desirable.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
