What I'm looking for

I’m seeking the Admin Assistant (G-6) position with OSESGY, where I can apply my UN administrative, finance, and mission-support experience in Yemen.

At the International Labour Organization (ILO), I process purchase orders, invoices, and disbursement vouchers while managing project petty cash and bank reconciliations. I also prepare financial statements and maintain audit-ready expenditure records.

Earlier at ILO, I tracked project budgets and supported joint UN missions, then coordinated security clearances, travel, and logistics for personnel. At Yemen Microfinance Network, I authored an HR Policies and Procedures Manual and managed procurement and asset records.
