🌊 #JobHuntMondays | The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is hiring a Senior Programme Management Officer (P-5) in Nairobi to lead its Source to Sea Pollution work.

🌍 What UNEP is doing: UNEP’s Ecosystems Division helps countries conserve, restore and sustainably manage their land, freshwater and marine ecosystems.

💼 In this role, you’d:
🧭 Lead source-to-sea programmes on ecosystem degradation, habitat loss, wetlands and coastal changes
🔬 Direct research, evaluations and policy development
💰 Coordinate budgets, funding proposals and progress reports
🌍 Lead field missions and guide governments, consultants and partners
🤝 Build partnerships and represent UNEP at all levels
👥 Supervise and mentor staff, and lead data-driven planning

✅ 5+ years developing and implementing source-to-sea approaches across multiple countries
✅ Experience supervising teams in international settings
✅ Fluent English
⭐ Data analytics skills and experience coordinating global partnerships or intergovernmental expert groups are desirable

💚 IMVELO Impact: Pollution doesn’t respect borders. What enters a river upstream ends up on a coastline downstream. Managing pollution from source to sea protects the wetlands, fisheries and coastal communities that millions of Africans depend on.

📍 Location: Nairobi, Kenya
⏰ Deadline: 31 October 2026
