Operations Specialist [Open to Tier 0, 1 & 2 applicants]

Job Description
,
, - , no CSS classes, no inline styles, no , no
, preserve ALL original content word-for-word, no add/remove/summarize/rephrase, if no clear sections just wrap in , return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble.
Then they provide a "Job description:" which is the long UNDP text.
So I need to: Take that long text, remove anything that shouldn't be there (but the text itself seems to be the job description, no obvious social sharing/bylines/etc except maybe some UNDP internal stuff, but I need to clean it per the rules), and then format it as clean semantic HTML using
,
, - , preserving ALL original content word-for-word.
Let re-read the removal rules: "REMOVE all of the following: - Social sharing text (Share, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) - Author bylines (by AuthorName, written by, posted by) - "You may also like" / related posts sections - Navigation text (Previous, Next, Read more, Back to) - Comments sections - Advertisements or promotions - Cookie/subscription notices - Duplicate text (if the title appears multiple times, keep it once) - Category labels that aren't part of the job (e.g., "Internships" as a standalone line) - Stray numbers or formatting artifacts"
The provided text doesn't seem to have any of those explicitly. It starts with `
Tiered Approach
` and goes on. It might have some UNDP-specific formatting, but I need to process it as is.
The HTML formatting rules: "Use for introductory paragraphs and general text - Use
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role) - Use - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills) - No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags - Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase - If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in tags - Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble."
Important: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So I must keep every word, every punctuation, every HTML entity like ? The original text has (non-breaking spaces). I should preserve them as-is, or maybe just keep the text content. The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I'll keep the text exactly as it appears, but wrap in the required tags.
I need to identify sections and use appropriate tags. The text has clear sections: "Tiered Approach", "Background", "Position Purpose", "Duties and Responsibilities", "Competencies", "Required Skills and Experience", "Equal opportunity", "Sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse of authority", "Probation". Also headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations...", "Oversee application of operational policies...", etc. Those are sub-sections under "Duties and Responsibilities".
The HTML rules say: use
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So I should use for main section headers. What constitutes a "section header"? The text has `Tiered Approach`, `Background`, `Position Purpose`, `Duties and Responsibilities`, `Competencies`, `Required Skills and Experience`, `Equal opportunity`, `Sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse of authority`, `Probation`. Also within "Duties and Responsibilities", there are sub-headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:", etc. Those are followed by - lists.
I need to structure this logically. The rule says use
for section headers. I'll treat the main headings as . The sub-headings within duties might be
or maybe also
but the rule only mentions for section headers, and - for list items. The sub-headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:" are followed by
- lists. I should probably keep them as
or maybe they are part of the list items? Actually, the text has `
Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:
` followed by `- ...`. So the strong text is a heading, then a list.
Let's parse the text structure as provided:

I need to output HTML only, using ,
, - . No , no
, no classes, no inline styles. I must preserve all content word-for-word. That means I should keep every word, including "Tiered Approach", "Background", etc. I need to decide how to map headings to . The rule says: "Use for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". So I'll use for the main section titles like "Duties and Responsibilities", "Competencies", "Required Skills and Experience", etc. What about "Tiered Approach", "Background", "Position Purpose"? Those are also section headers. I'll use for all of them, as they are section headers.
But the rule also says: "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags". This text has clear sections, so I'll use
.
I need to output the HTML. I must not add any commentary. I'll just output the HTML string.
Let's plan the structure:
Start with maybe the job title? The text doesn't have a clear job title at the very beginning; it starts with "Tiered Approach". But the user said "Keep and Structure: Job title, Company/Organisation name, Location, Job description and responsibilities, Requirements/qualifications, How to apply / application instructions, Salary (if mentioned), Deadline / closing date, Job ID / reference number, Contract type / level". However, the HTML rules override: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". And "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." Also the HTML rules don't mention extracting specific fields; they say use
for introductory paragraphs and general text,
for section headers, - for list items. So I think I should just transform the given text into HTML using those tags, preserving all content. The "Keep and Structure" list from the first part might be a general guideline, but the second part with strict HTML rules takes precedence. The user says: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then gives rules. So I'll follow the HTML rules strictly.
I need to make sure I don't accidentally remove or change any content. I'll keep as is, or maybe replace with regular space? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I'll keep the entities as they appear, but HTML will interpret as non-breaking space, which is fine. I'll just copy the text exactly.
Let's go through the text and tag it.
I'll structure it roughly as:

Background
The nexus of security-humanitarian-development issues around Lake Chad has given rise to an intractable extremist insurgency that has left tens of thousands of people dead, approximately 2.5 million displaced, and more than 10 million people in the region affected and in need. While robust national and multi-national military operations have re-taken territory previously controlled by Boko Haram, UNDP recognizes that a new approach is required to consolidate these gains and establish the conditions necessary to transition from military to civilian responsibility for security, and from the provision of humanitarian assistance to the resumption of stalled development processes. In this context, the UNDP Regional Stabilization Facility is intended to provide a new approach, calibrated to respond to the need for a step-change in the scale and nature of intervention, improvement in speed of response, increased territorial coverage, and improved regional cooperation.
The UNDP Stabilization Facility aims to enhance civil-military cooperation to design and implement Joint Action Plans for the immediate stabilization of specific target areas, to increase security and the rule of law as well as provide infrastructure, basic services and livelihood opportunities as a rapid-response package. The Facility will underwrite the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) and the African Union implementation of the LCBC Regional Stabilization Strategy, strengthening coherence and coordination of response to the Lake Chad crisis, and establishing the mechanism and process required to operationalise the New Way of Working and a transition from provision of humanitarian assistance to development and resilience.

The nexus of security-humanitarian-development issues around Lake Chad has given rise to an intractable extremist insurgency that has left tens of thousands of people dead, approximately 2.5 million displaced, and more than 10 million people in the region affected and in need. While robust national and multi-national military operations have re-taken territory previously controlled by Boko Haram, UNDP recognizes that a new approach is required to consolidate these gains and establish the conditions necessary to transition from military to civilian responsibility for security, and from the provision of humanitarian assistance to the resumption of stalled development processes. In this context, the UNDP Regional Stabilization Facility is intended to provide a new approach, calibrated to respond to the need for a step-change in the scale and nature of intervention, improvement in speed of response, increased territorial coverage, and improved regional cooperation.
The UNDP Stabilization Facility aims to enhance civil-military cooperation to design and implement Joint Action Plans for the immediate stabilization of specific target areas, to increase security and the rule of law as well as provide infrastructure, basic services and livelihood opportunities as a rapid-response package. The Facility will underwrite the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) and the African Union implementation of the LCBC Regional Stabilization Strategy, strengthening coherence and coordination of response to the Lake Chad crisis, and establishing the mechanism and process required to operationalise the New Way of Working and a transition from provision of humanitarian assistance to development and resilience.
The Stabilization Facility Service Centre in Nigeria, established under the UNDP Regional Stabilization Facility, aims to ensure that immediate national stabilization efforts are well targeted, calibrated and fully owned by relevant stakeholders; and is set-up to provide the dedicated operational support necessary for timely implementation.
Reporting Structure and Partners
The Stabilization Facility Service Centre is composed of finance, procurement, human resources and project management /administration functions, led by the Operations Specialist with delegated authority as Manager Level 2 in the UNDP Nigeria office.
UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. Therefore, UNDP personnel are expected to work across units, functions, teams, and projects in multidisciplinary teams in order to enhance and enable horizontal collaboration.
Position Purpose
The Operations Specialist will lead the operations of the UNDP Stabilization Facility Service Centre Nigeria under the direct supervision of the Head of Stabilization and matrix reporting to DRR-O, ensure full compliance with the Internal Control Framework and UNDP rules and regulations.
Duties and Responsibilities
Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:
- Develops appropriate tools to deliver on operational services within the required time frame.
- Sets up appropriate monitoring system(s) in order to excel in client orientation and ensure timely delivery of results in accordance with the established work plan.
- Ensures frequent communication with programme staff, as main clients, on progress with respect to service requests.
- Operates at Manager level 2 approval level in Quantum.

- Performs the function of Audit focal point for the Service Centre
- Collaborates closely with respective Operations Units of UNDP Nigeria CO as relevant.
Oversee application of operational policies for operations support pertaining to project implementation and management

- Clears agreements for working with partners, before signature by Senior Management of the Country Office.
- Reviews operational policies and advises on policies and SOPs which will ensure accountability and speed of implementation, with high client satisfaction.
- Oversees effective delivery of client-oriented administrative support to UNDP staff and project personnel on human resources, procurement, finance, logistics, administration and transactional issues.

- Reviews terms of reference to ensure the quality of inputs to be proc
tags - Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase - If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags - Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." Important: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So I must keep every word, every punctuation, every HTML entity like ? The original text has (non-breaking spaces). I should preserve them as-is, or maybe just keep the text content. The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I'll keep the text exactly as it appears, but wrap in the required tags. I need to identify sections and use appropriate tags. The text has clear sections: "Tiered Approach", "Background", "Position Purpose", "Duties and Responsibilities", "Competencies", "Required Skills and Experience", "Equal opportunity", "Sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse of authority", "Probation". Also headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations...", "Oversee application of operational policies...", etc. Those are sub-sections under "Duties and Responsibilities". The HTML rules say: use
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So I should use for main section headers. What constitutes a "section header"? The text has `Tiered Approach`, `Background`, `Position Purpose`, `Duties and Responsibilities`, `Competencies`, `Required Skills and Experience`, `Equal opportunity`, `Sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse of authority`, `Probation`. Also within "Duties and Responsibilities", there are sub-headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:", etc. Those are followed by - lists.
I need to structure this logically. The rule says use
for section headers. I'll treat the main headings as . The sub-headings within duties might be
or maybe also
but the rule only mentions for section headers, and - for list items. The sub-headings like "Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:" are followed by
- lists. I should probably keep them as
or maybe they are part of the list items? Actually, the text has `
Ensure Oversight of operations of the Facility Service Centre implementation for optimization of delivery:
` followed by `- ...`. So the strong text is a heading, then a list.
Let's parse the text structure as provided:
- `
Tiered Approach
` then text
- `In line with the commitment...
`
- `Background
` then text
- `The nexus...
` (actually multiple paragraphs)
- `The UNDP Stabilization Facility aims...

`

` then multiple sub-sections each with `Ensure Oversight...
` then `- ...

`

` then `Core Competencies
` then `Achieve Results - LEVEL 3: ...
` etc.
- `People Management

- `Language:
` then `- Fluency in English.
`
- `Equal opportunity

` then text

` then truncated text
I need to output HTML only, using ,
, - . No , no
, no classes, no inline styles. I must preserve all content word-for-word. That means I should keep every word, including "Tiered Approach", "Background", etc. I need to decide how to map headings to . The rule says: "Use for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". So I'll use for the main section titles like "Duties and Responsibilities", "Competencies", "Required Skills and Experience", etc. What about "Tiered Approach", "Background", "Position Purpose"? Those are also section headers. I'll use for all of them, as they are section headers.
But the rule also says: "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags". This text has clear sections, so I'll use
.
I need to output the HTML. I must not add any commentary. I'll just output the HTML string.
Let's plan the structure:
Start with maybe the job title? The text doesn't have a clear job title at the very beginning; it starts with "Tiered Approach". But the user said "Keep and Structure: Job title, Company/Organisation name, Location, Job description and responsibilities, Requirements/qualifications, How to apply / application instructions, Salary (if mentioned), Deadline / closing date, Job ID / reference number, Contract type / level". However, the HTML rules override: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". And "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." Also the HTML rules don't mention extracting specific fields; they say use
for introductory paragraphs and general text,
for section headers, - for list items. So I think I should just transform the given text into HTML using those tags, preserving all content. The "Keep and Structure" list from the first part might be a general guideline, but the second part with strict HTML rules takes precedence. The user says: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then gives rules. So I'll follow the HTML rules strictly.
I need to make sure I don't accidentally remove or change any content. I'll keep as is, or maybe replace with regular space? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I'll keep the entities as they appear, but HTML will interpret as non-breaking space, which is fine. I'll just copy the text exactly.
Let's go through the text and tag it.
I'll structure it roughly as:
Tiered Approach
In line with the commitment to safeguard capacity and support personnel already in the Organization, a majority of UNDP UNCDF/UNV vacancies are advertised using a tiered application process whereby:
- Tier 0: UNDP/UNCDF/UNV IP staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed-term (FTA) appointments, whose posts will be abolished, or contracts will be terminated or not renewed during 2026.
