Om tjänsten
<b>Description</b>

The Programme Manager will work on the Foundation's core programmatic activities as laid out in the Strategic Framework 2018-20 and annual work programmes. The position will focus on the formulation and implementation of work related to the following issues:

• Multilateralism and international norms and governance, including trends and the future of multilateralism and the normative role of the UN.
