How to Apply

Send your resume, along with a cover letter indicating the position of interest, to Director of Talent Management, U.S. Fund for UNICEF, 125 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 or to jobs@unicefusa.org. Due to the large volume of resumes we receive, only those candidates who are selected for further consideration will be contacted

Please note: It has come to our attention that an individual unknown to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF has been posing as a UNICEF recruiter and soliciting payment for registration and/or training fees. The solicitation is usually in the form of an email that announces UNICEF job vacancies, and requests replies to various fax numbers with a "206" area code.

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF does not advertise job vacancies in email announcements. If you receive such an email, or see a UNICEF job advertised with a request for replies by fax, please know that it is a fraud and not from the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. Also, please note that the U.S. Fund for UNICEF does not require nor accept payment of any kind during the hiring process. We also do not make offers of employment to individuals who have not been personally interviewed.

If you are unsure whether you are corresponding with UNICEF or an imposter, please email us at hr@unicefusa.org.
