Organizational Context
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013 as well as the Abu Dhabi Declaration adopted at the eighteenth session of UNIDO General Conference in 2019, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States. The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development. UNIDO’s mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”. The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs. Accordingly, the Organization’s programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities: Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.
Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDO’s four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation. Such core functions are carried out in Divisions/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.
- Operationalize work instructions, procedures, and administrative issuances related to information security across business units and IT systems;
- Implement and monitor technical and procedural controls to secure UNIDO’s digital assets and network infrastructure;
- Conduct security operations including incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management to ensure the Organization’s resilience against cyber threats;
- Identify, assess, and help manage information security risks affecting UNIDO’s systems, services, and digital footprint;
- Actively support improvements to the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity controls and respond to any identified gaps or weaknesses.
Main Responsibilities

- Oversee incident response activities including detection, documentation, containment, remediation, and lessons learned reporting.
- Manage inventories of digital assets and implementing technical protections across UNIDO’s network, servers, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure.
- Conduct vulnerability scans, assess threat intelligence sources, and help coordinate remediation efforts with technical teams.
- Organize and contribute to red/blue team exercises and contribute to penetration testing or configuration review processes.
- Design and deliver security awareness activities and internal campaigns by preparing materials, publishing intranet content, and contributing to interactive training.
- Develop and maintain cybersecurity guidance documents, standard operating procedures, checklists, and user-focused guidance.
- Prepare and compile evidence and documentation for audits and compliance reviews; follow up on implementation of corrective actions.
- Advise with project teams to ensure that cybersecurity risks are identified and addressed early in system design and deployment.
- Research and evaluate emerging cybersecurity tools, methods, and best practices, including in the context of AI-driven threats and secure cloud operations.
- Identify and escalate risks, control deficiencies, or observed vulnerabilities and propose improvements to the cybersecurity control environment.
Core Values and Competencies
- A minimum of five (5) years of relevant professional experience, preferably at the international level, involving cyber technology is required.
- Hands-on experience in implementing cybersecurity tools and operational security tasks with (e.g. SIEM, IDS/IPS, firewalls, incident response, vulnerability management) is required.

- Standing relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, CEH, CISA, CCSP, GSEC, CRISC) are an asset
