Job Purpose

UNICEF's Division of People and Culture is soliciting proposals from qualified individuals to serve as facilitators and coaches for talent management. The primary purpose is to renew and expand a roster of consultants with expertise in executive coaching, individual and team coaching, learning intervention design, workshop facilitation, and country/regional briefings. These services are crucial for enhancing leadership development, fostering a strong performance culture, supporting career growth, and improving team effectiveness across UNICEF's global operations.
