The Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) is responsible for providing leadership, operational support and oversight of the United Nations security management system (UNSMS) globally. As a global leader in security risk management principles, UNDSS enables the safe and effective delivery of United Nations programmes and activities in the most complex and challenging environments, while maximizing precious resources. To this end, the work of the Department is aligned under a clear mission, to enable United Nations system programme activities through trusted security leadership and solutions. UNDSS has embarked on a series of reforms to reconceptualize security as an enabler of UN programmes within acceptable risk. New strategic initiatives focus on improving the quality of evidence-based planning and foresight scenarios required to strengthen UNDSS response in the field and ensure continued programmatic delivery and support to UN organizations in complex emergencies and deteriorating security situations. Within UNDSS, the Operational Resilience Service (ORS) provides specialist support to UNDSS’s field operations, thereby enhancing the Department’s ability to absorb and recover from shocks, stresses, and challenges while maintaining essential functions during any occurrence. In this regard, ORS is looking to recruit an individual contractor (IC) with substantial data engineering knowledge and skills to work on the elaboration, update and maintenance of tools and dashboards. • Develop data systems, databases, data collection mechanisms, digital tools, and data analytics platforms to enhance decision-making processes in field operations, strategic planning, and real-time response capabilities. • Acquire, clean and prepare data for analysis from internal and external sources, operational reports, risk assessments, security databases surveys, social media feeds, and inputs from field activities. • Identify, analyze, and interpret trends or patterns, in structured and unstructured sources of data using quantitative and qualitative research and analysis methods. • Present insights through dashboards, charts, maps, and infographics to support decision-making
