I recently joined the UN system in a P3 specialist role, and I am still trying to understand the shift in expectations.

I come from a background where I often carried entire pieces of work single-handedly. I am trying to understand how this changes in a UN staff role, especially at P3 level.

In your personal experience, how much of a P3 role is about directly producing technical outputs yourself, and how much is about architecture, prioritization, coordination, leadership, quality/evidence judgment, product direction, capacity building, and sustainability?

How do you balance getting your own hands dirty with coordinating others to make things happen?
