  • Lead a team to carry out analysis and visualizations to drive insights and enable CBO Project Team to make data-driven decisions.
  • Drive communication efforts on UN Reform.
  • Additional divisional needs.
  • As part of the BIU leadership team, be responsible for driving knowledge management reviews and best practices sharing, hiring, developing and retaining members of the BIU team.
