Working with DOS
Working at DOS means making Secretariat work possible wherever it operates. Headquarters, service-centre and field-support teams provide supply chain, human resources, finance, technology, health care, facilities, travel, transport and other enabling services. Careers range from logistics, procurement and aviation to operations, data, facilities and administration. The work is client-facing and time-critical: staff turn mandates into services for peace operations, regional commissions, offices away from headquarters and UN Headquarters.

Support a globally dispersed Secretariat
Connect headquarters, field missions, commissions and service centres through reliable shared solutions.
Shape operations at real scale
