Job description

Organizational context: UNDP Indonesia operates within a middle-income country context, focusing on Human Development, Nature/Climate/Resilience, and Economic/Digital Transformation. With 70% of its economy tied to natural resources, the linkage between nature, climate, jobs, and economic empowerment is critical. UNDP Indonesia drives a strategic portfolio to transform commodity systems and sustainable land use through high-impact partnerships and innovative blended finance, recognizing the pivotal role of the private sector.

Job purpose: The Private Sector Engagement Analyst will lead and coordinate UNDP Indonesia's engagement with the private sector to advance sustainable, inclusive, and market-oriented commodity development, particularly for land- and marine-based commodities. This role involves identifying, developing, and operationalizing strategic partnerships with various market actors to translate private sector engagement into tangible investments, market opportunities, sustainable sourcing arrangements, and improved outcomes for producers and landscapes. The position contributes to UNDP Indonesia's sustainable commodity portfolio, connecting project-level interventions with broader market transformation opportunities across national, landscape, and international levels.

Responsibilities: The Private Sector Engagement Analyst is responsible for strengthening UNDP Indonesia's strategic positioning with private sector actors and building a pipeline of actionable partnerships.

Additionally, the analyst will translate identified opportunities into concrete partnership concepts, action plans, and investment cases, supporting market readiness for producers and mobilizing private capital.

The role requires contributing to UNDP Indonesia's overall strategy, identifying opportunities to leverage public funding for private capital mobilization, and facilitating knowledge exchange across relevant initiatives.

Education: An advanced university degree (Master's or equivalent) in Business Administration, Commerce, International Trade, Marketing, or a related field is required. A first-level university degree with two additional years of qualifying experience may be considered.

Work experience: Requires a minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience (with a Master's degree) or 4 years (with a Bachelor's degree) in areas such as private sector engagement, partnership development, sustainable commodity value chains, sustainable trade, market development, investment, or commercial/blended finance.

Skills: Demonstrated experience in private sector engagement, particularly related to sustainable commodities, natural resource management, or sustainable development. Experience engaging with companies, industry associations, financial institutions, investors, buyers, and producer organizations. Proven ability in investment facilitation, mobilizing private capital, and developing market-based solutions.
