With the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in full swing in New York, it’s difficult at the moment not to think about global development in the city beyond the U.N. But for development professionals who are keen for a stop in the Big Apple along their career path, there are many other employment opportunities worth considering.
Based on data from the Devex job board, we’ve been able to identify the most active development organizations hiring in New York over the past 12 months that are not within the U.N. system.
Granted, U.N. agencies have by far posted the most jobs on Devex that are based in New York during this time frame. UNICEF, the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, and the United Nations Department of Operational Support have led the way with a total of over 500 between them, with hundreds more from a wide range of other U.N. offices.
