I am excited to express my keen interest in the Senior Operations Assistant position at UN-Habitat in Islamabad. With a strong background in administration, finance, human resources, and logistics, coupled with my passion for supporting impactful development initiatives, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to the operations of your office.

With a overall 4.2 years of experiences including 03 years in UNFPA I have gained comprehensive experience working with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), where I have provided robust operational support across multiple departments, including Finance, HR, Admin, and Programs. My responsibilities included processing payments in Quantum and AODOCs, managing vendor creation, organizing logistics for national-level trainings and workshops, coordinating work plan activities, and assisting in the recruitment and onboarding processes. I have also served as the travel focal person, ensuring accurate and timely travel and DSA arrangements for national and international missions.

My experience in reviewing and reconciling financial documentation, facilitating FACE forms, supporting implementing partner agreements, and handling petty cash disbursements has equipped me with a deep understanding of operational compliance, financial regulations, and administrative best practices within the UN system. Additionally, I have worked closely with the UNDSS team in selecting venues and arranging travel clearances, showcasing my ability to manage logistics under security protocols.

What motivates me most about this opportunity is UN-Habitat’s mission to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. I am particularly drawn to the human-centered and resilience-focused approach of your programs, which aligns with my own values of equity, inclusion, and community service.

I am eager to bring my skills, dedication, and a solution-oriented mindset to your team. I thrive in dynamic and multicultural environments, and I am committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and integrity in all that I do.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to UN-Habitat’s meaningful work in Pakistan.

Warm regards,
Faryal Jahan
