New York, New York, United States UNICEF - United Nations Children's Fund Full time
UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.


Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, hope


DFAM New York-based Central Services Center (CSC) was established in January 2024 as part of the Headquarters Efficiencies Initiative (HQEI).

The goal of the CSC is to further consolidate and streamline common, location-dependent transactions and processes.

The aim is to improve efficiency and compliance by reducing transactional level tasks for teams, thus enabling NYHQ Division/Office staff to strategically focus on delivering high-quality programmatic work and, ultimately, achieve cost savings and efficiency gains.

Consolidating transactions within a Central Service Centre (CSC) will help UNICEF to further mitigate the risks of efficiency loss, duplication and excessive costs as the Centre provides specialization and increased efficiency in the use of resources.
