Job description
UNOPS is looking for a Specialist for Terminology & Acquis Management to provide technical expertise to North Macedonia’s national authorities to design and establish sustainable governance structures, workflows, and coordination mechanisms for the legal revision and terminology management of the EU acquis.
The Project “Support to European Integration of North Macedonia” supports North Macedonia’s EU accession negotiations and strengthens the country’s capacity to manage the overall European Union (EU) integration process. The Project is funded by Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the Ministry for European Affairs, and is implemented by United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
The Project’s goal is to enhance the country’s preparedness for EU membership by strengthening institutional capacities, coordination mechanisms, good governance, and public engagement in the EU reform process. In this context, the Project supports the Government to further strengthen its institutional, technical, and administrative capacity to advance EU accession priorities. The Project will support the preparation of the national version of the EU acquis through institutional, technical, and capacity-development support including analysing regional and European practices and developing recommendations for coordination of translation, legal and expert revision, and terminology management. It will also help define institutional arrangements for verifying translated texts and strengthen capacities, tools, and systems to ensure a more efficient, consistent, and sustainable acquis preparation process.
