<p>The UN Secretary-General launched on 1 January 2019 a bold and new global reform which repositioned the UN Development System to deliver more effectively and efficiently with the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this reform, UN Resident Coordinator Offices (UN RCO), under the leadership of an empowered and independent UN Resident Coordinator - the highest-ranking official of the UN Development System and Representative of the UN Secretary-General at country level - support countries in the achievement of their development priorities and the attainment of the SDG's. In its Resolution A/RES/72/279, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the transformation of the Development Operations Coordination Office (DCO) as a stand-alone coordination office within the United Nations Secretariat. DCO exercises managerial and oversight functions of the resident coordinator system under the oversight of the Chair of United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG). In 2026, DCO undertook a recalibration to ensure the RC system remains optimally configured to support the acceleration of the 2030 Agenda and embodies the UN 2.0 shift- anchored in data, digital, innovation, behavioral science, strategic foresight, and a mission driven organizational culture. The position is located in the United Nations Resident Coordinator Office (RCO) in Baghdad, Iraq, under the supervision of the Head of the Resident Coordinator Office.</p><p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Responsibilities</b></p><p>Within delegated authority, the Associate Communications Officer will perform the following duties:</p><ul><li>Contribute to the implementation of communications strategies that raise awareness, drive engagement, build support and have measurable impact with target audiences.</li><li>Contribute to drafting narratives and messaging on the work of the UN that engage target audiences across different channels and platforms.</li><li>Contribute to the development of media lines, including in crisis situations and on sensitive issues.</li><li>Contribute to the drafting and production of communications products, such as press releases, press statements, web stories, reports, and infographics.</li><li>Contribute to development and coordination of strategic communications partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to reach target audiences and maximize impact.</li><li>Monitor, analyse, and report on communications approaches, activities and strategies to assess their performance and effectiveness.</li><li>Contribute to the collection and analysis of data as well as identification of trends or patterns and provides draft insights through graphs, charts, tables and reports using data visualization methods for data-driven planning, decision-making, presentation and reporting.</li><li>Perform other related tasks as assigned.</li></ul><p>Competencies</p><p>PROFESSIONALISM: Presentation skills.
