1. General Background

Since 2007 UNHCR Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) has been running successful fundraising programs in several Asian markets. In 2017 PSP aims to raise a minimum of $73 million from the Asia/Pacific region compared to the $3.4 million raised in 2006.

Since 2007 three new Asian markets have been launched; Hong Kong (2007), Thailand (2008) and South Korea (2008). Hong Kong was the first PSP office in Asia and operates in a highly competitive market. In spite of the competition, the office has experienced year on year growth and operates a diverse new donor recruitment programme that covers face to face, online and direct response television fundraising activity. Due to the size of the database and the diversity of the audiences recruited, the office also operates a complex donor retention strategy which is requiring more manpower in order to manage it effectively.

In order to continue the successful growth of PSP Hong Kong and ensure that donors are developed and retained in a way which ensures maximum value for UNHCR Hong Kong, PSP Hong Kong now requires a Donor Care Assistant to work alongside the existing team and to provide high quality customer service and deliver engaging donor communications.

Reporting to and supervised by the Assistant PSP IG Officer – Donor Care, this position will play a key role in welcoming the newly recruited donors and maintaining the loyalty of the existing donors.
