Most Administration positions require a relevant master's degree, 3–7 years of field experience, and strong written English. French or Spanish is often required for francophone Africa or Latin America programmes. Specialised certifications (e.g., WASH engineering, epidemiology) strengthen applications.
Key employers for Administration roles include UNDP, UNICEF, WHO, WFP, FAO, the World Bank, bilateral donors (USAID, FCDO, GIZ), and international NGOs listed on ReliefWeb. Dev Procure aggregates all their vacancies in one place.
It depends on career stage. Entry to mid-level Administration roles tend to be field-based in developing countries; senior advisory, policy, and research positions are more commonly based in Geneva, New York, Washington D.C., or London.
