About The Position

UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. UNICEF is a place where careers are built, offering staff diverse opportunities for professional and personal development. UNICEF is a leading humanitarian and development agency working globally for the rights of every child. Since 2019, Lebanon has been facing a complex economic and financial crisis, further compounded by internal and external shocks. The 2020 Beirut Port explosions, followed by ongoing hostilities since October 2023, have created one of the world's most complex and protracted humanitarian contexts. Operating in this environment requires a resilient, agile and people-centred workforce capable of responding to rapidly evolving humanitarian and development priorities. As a strategic member of the Country Management Team, the People and Culture Manager leads on the P&C Agenda, ensuring the organization attracts, develops and retains a high-performing workforce while fostering staff wellbeing, organizational resilience and an inclusive workplace culture. The People and Culture Manager will serve as a strategic HR partner, anticipating people-related needs and developing proactive solutions that align human resources management with organizational objectives. The role provides strategic leadership on workforce planning, talent management, organizational change, emergency preparedness and response, and duty of care, enabling UNICEF Lebanon to deliver results for children in a complex operating environment.
