Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

With over 150 country offices, UNICEF relies on a consolidated KPI dashboard to monitor performance across global operations. However, this system was built over a decade ago using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). While it has provided a vital baseline for field monitoring, the legacy technology and underlying business logic have become outdated, limiting the organization’s ability to leverage modern, real-time data insights.

To address these gaps, UNICEF is transitioning to a more agile reporting ecosystem. This role will focus on modernizing the dashboarding tools and refining the business logic to ensure country offices have the intuitive, high-performance analytics needed for contemporary decision-making. By moving away from static SSRS reports, you will help transform how the organization tracks and scales its impact worldwide.

· Assessing customer requirements, determining technical feasibility and documenting results

· Developing highly complicated reports (e.g., drill through, drill down, dynamic parameters, sub-reports) and data models (e.g., cubes/tabular models)

· Creating and editing visual content including maps, charts, and graphs

· Ensuring in-depth testing is completed

· Providing user and technical documentation
