In September 2023, the Secretary-General launched his vision for a UN 2.0, as part of his proposals for Our Common Agenda – his agenda for more networked, inclusive and effective multilateralism.
Building on major structural reforms since 2017, UN 2.0 encapsulates the SG’s vision of a modern United Nations system, rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture, and empowered by cutting-edge skills fit for the twenty-first century.
In response to the release of the UN 2.0 Policy Brief, the United Nations is prioritising the development of data, digital, innovation, foresight and behavioral science capabilities, collectively known as the "quintet of change," to thrive in the 21st century, better serve Member States and accelerate SDG progress.
The Data and Digital Solutions Consultant will play a key role in shaping and optimising the digital architecture that supports data-driven decision-making within the Executive Office of the Secretary-General. This includes designing and implementing solutions that enhance the integration, accessibility and usability of data across key business processes. The consultant will contribute to the development of scalable data management frameworks, analytics tools and digital workflows that improve operational efficiency, strategic insights and overall performance of the Office.
Deadline for submissions is 17 September 2025.
