If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.

Background
For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) project’s goal is to take a systemic approach that introduces and institutionalizes Electronic Content Management (including systems, policies, procedures, standards, guidance, and governance), providing improved search functionality, document and records management, archives management, content management, content reuse and repurposing, and collaboration across UNICEF. As additional benefit it seeks to reduce risks, improve usability of tools, provide significant savings, enable new organizational capabilities and comply with several audit recommendations. These goals will be implemented in keeping with the organizational strategy and information management requirements of stakeholders in various business areas.

The Digital Strategy Section (DSS) within the Division of Communication (DOC) comprises Web, Social Media and Multimedia teams working together to create compelling public-facing content, including web stories, blog posts, photo essays, Facebook posts, Twitter campaigns and videos for distribution via unicef.org, our blogging platform (UNICEF Connect), YouTube, news media, and other outlets and platforms. Through multiple platforms and in multiple languages, DSS draws attention to the many facets of UNICEF’s work, encouraging public support, participation and action, as well as ensuring greater transparency and accountability. By measuring and testing our efforts, we also use data to inform content and engagement choices.

Purpose of the Assignment

It will also support SEO externally. If required, separate but harmonized versions of the taxonomy can be established and maintained for internal and external contexts, based on requirements to be assessed during the assignment;
  
• The taxonomy shall wherever appropriate make use of alternate term mapping (including mapping of ‘street level terms’ commonly used to official UNICEF/UN terms), and related term mapping, to ensure the best possible results retrieval by end users;
  
• Subject matter experts shall be consulted, under the guidance of the team lead, for taxonomy development and maintenance. They shall include experts in technical areas, as well as DOC writers and editors;
  
• The taxonomy manager will help guide the ongoing governance and management of taxonomic components within UNICEF, by recommending guidance, and proposing procedures for ongoing maintenance and management of taxonomies;
  
• The organization is preparing for the use of taxonomy management platforms to support auto-categorization of content. The taxonomy manager will work with these platforms to support integration of taxonomies with content management systems for this objective
