Title: Associate PPH Officer (Digital & Data Analytics)
Duty station: Copenhagen, Denmark
Section/Unit: Private Partnerships & Philanthropy Section
ICA Level: LICA-9
Duration: from 01/03/2025 to 31/12/2025

1. General Background

Based at UN City in Copenhagen, UNHCR’s Private Sector Partnership Service (PSP) supports the Agency’s global collaboration with the private sector through its network of fundraisers and national associations in the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Gulf region and Africa. The new Private Sector Engagement Strategy has the vision to deliver PSP into a service capable of generating $2bn in value by 2033.

PSP’s Private Partnerships and Philanthropy (PPH) Section, under PSP, develops and strengthens long-term partnerships with corporations, foundations, and private philanthropists (“PPH donors”). The primary role of PPH colleagues is to seek various forms of support from such donors: securing funding for UNHCR programs and projects is considered priority, but the work also includes leveraging the capacities of these relationships beyond funding, to build long-lasting holistic partnerships bringing various forms of support to UNHCR and to persons of concern, such as advocacy, visibility, expertise, innovation, and public engagement.

The Strategic Framework for Partnerships and Philanthropy – a subset of the PSE Global Strategy – identifies the establishment of a data-driven approach to planning and investment as a critical success factor to achieving the PPH global target of raising USD 300 million annually from corporations, foundations, and private philanthropists. The Associate PPH Officer (Digital & Data Analytics) is a significant element of this scenario.

The incumbent will support fundraising and partnerships efforts of PPH colleagues globally by delivering the relevant quantitative and qualitative data, research and insights required to plan effectively for partnerships and philanthropy, to ensure PPH colleagues can tap into opportunities most likely to generate growth, and to establish, cultivate, steward and retain strategic, multimillion dollar relationships with private sector entities.
