Then a bunch of legal/EEO boilerplate: "UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18). UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination based on gender, nationality, age, race, sexual orientation, religious or ethnic background or disabilities.

UNICEF appointments are subject to medical clearance. Issuance of a visa by the host country of the duty station is required for IP positions and will be facilitated by UNICEF. Appointments are conditional on the selected candidates willingness to comply with current or future vaccination requirements, should UNICEF mandate it for personnel. Failure to comply with such requirements, where applicable and without a duly approved medical exemption from the relevant UN authority, will result in the cancellation of the selection or may lead to other administrative measures, including separation from service." Then "Remarks As per Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. UNICEF is committed to fostering an inclusive, representative, and welcoming workforce. For this position, eligible and suitable male are encouraged to apply. Government employees who are considered for employment with UNICEF are normally required to resign from their government positions before taking up an assignment with UNICEF. UNICEF reserves the right to withdraw an offer of appointment, without compensation, if a visa or medical clearance is not obtained, or necessary inoculation requirements are not met, within a reasonable period for any reason. UNICEF does not charge a processing fee at any stage of its recruitment, selection, and hiring processes (i.e., application stage, interview stage, validation stage, or appointment and training). UNICEF will not ask for applicants' bank account information. Mobility is a condition of international professional employment with UNICEF and an underlying premise of the international civil service. Humanitarian action is a cross-cutting priority within UNICEF's Strategic Plan. UNICEF is committed to stay and deliver in humanitarian contexts.

An internal candidate performing at the level of the post in the relevant functional area, or an internal/external candidate in the corresponding Talent Group, may be selected, if suitable for the post, without assessment of other candidates. Additional information about working for UNICEF can be found here." We need to remove all boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation instructions, etc. Keep substantive info: role description, key functions/accountabilities, key deliverables, minimum requirements (education, experience, skills, language), desirables maybe part of qualifications/skills, core values/competencies maybe part of "Qualifications" or "Skills"? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include. We have: - About the role: description of position (mission, location, reporting, purpose). Good. - Responsibilities: could be the Summary Of Key Functions/accountabilities and Key Deliverables combined. Could be separate but we can put under Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Requirements (education, experience). Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Desirables? Or we could combine qualifications with requirements? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if there is content. We have Minimum Requirements (education, experience) and Desirables (language, experience assets). Also Core Values and Competencies maybe under Qualifications? But we need to avoid filler. The core values statement is generic but could be considered part of Qualifications? However it's more about organizational values, not specific to candidate. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but still generic. Might be okay to include under Qualifications? But we should avoid placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". The core values statement is not placeholder; it's specific to UNICEF. However the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Core values is not EEO but still generic. Might be okay to keep as part of Qualifications? But we need to decide. Better to keep Qualifications as the Desirables (language, experience assets, Power BI, etc.) plus maybe core values/competencies as part of Qualifications? However the core values are not qualifications per se but could be considered part of "Qualifications". The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have separate headings allowed. We could have Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications (desirables, core values, competencies). That seems reasonable. Skills: we have Skills required (programme management, emergency nutrition, data analysis, strategic planning, partnership coordination, capacity building). Also maybe we could include language fluency as skill? But language is separate. Benefits: posting mentions "We offer a wide range of benefits to our staff, including paid parental leave, breastfeeding breaks and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities." That's a benefit statement. Also earlier: "We offer our staff diverse opportunities for professional and personal development that will help them reinforce a sense of purpose while serving children and communities across the world." That's also a benefit? Could be considered benefits. Also "attractive compensation and benefits package." But no specifics. So we have some benefits: paid parental leave, breastfeeding breaks, reasonable accommodation. Also professional development opportunities. We'll include Benefits section with those. Pay:
