Details

The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism was established pursuant to General Assembly resolution 71/291 to enhance leadership, coordination, and delivery of United Nations counter-terrorism efforts. Within this mandate, the Global Counter-Terrorism Programme on Autonomous and Remotely Operated Systems (AROS Programme) supports Member States in preventing and countering the terrorism-related use of unmanned and remotely operated systems, while also enabling their lawful, non-lethal use for counter-terrorism and security purposes. As the Programme has expanded in scope, geographic reach, and operational maturity, there is a need to consolidate its visual identity to ensure consistent presentation across publications, digital products, and outreach materials, while remaining fully aligned with UNOCT and United Nations branding requirements.

We are looking for one Online Volunteer who under the guidance of the Programme Coordinator and in close collaboration with the Communications Section will support us by producing graphic designs for the AROS Programme.

During the assignment, the Online United Nations Volunteer is expected to deliver the following outputs for the AROS Programme: Output 1. Brand Identity Guide a. Logo b. Typography c. Colors d.

Counter-IED, Counter-CBRN and other specialized profiles.

Output 3. Updated Design of the Programme Brochure

Output 4. Design of the Briefing Document on Results and Achievements

The assignment is expected to result in a coherent and well-documented visual identity for the AROS Programme, fully aligned with UNOCT branding guidelines and United Nations visual standards. It should produce a structured, editable and reusable set of visual assets for print and digital use, ensuring consistency across all Programme communications, together with user-friendly templates that can be maintained and updated internally by UNOCT staff. The outputs should reflect visual design best practices to enhance clarity, accessibility and professional presentation, and be suitable for dissemination in both digital and print formats, including legible black-and-white reproduction. All deliverables are to be provided in editable source formats with clear usage guidance to support sustainable, long-term internal use.

Candidates should have professional experience in graphic design with previous experience in designing document layouts, and must have in-depth knowledge of graphic design applications, as well as good verbal and written communication skills.
