Terms of Reference1. General Background
(Brief description of the national, sector-specific or other relevant context in which the individual contractor will operate)
UNHCR is the UN Refugee Agency and takes the lead in providing international protection for more than 89.3 million refugees and displaced people worldwide.
Private Sector Partnerships Service (PSP) is a fast growing global division with offices across the world. UNHCR has developed a private sector engagement strategy to achieve, by 2025, the long-term goal of maximizing sustainable and flexible contributions from the private sector to raise $1 billion annually.
In Thailand, PSP has been achieving outstanding results since its establishment in May 2008 through its diversified fundraising channels; face to face, digital, direct mail, direct response TV and multi-channels programmes. Due to the size of the database and the diversity of the donors recruited, the office also operates a complex donor development strategy which requires an additional workforce to implement the plan effectively. The mid-level donor development or middle donor programme has grown substantially since the pilot project in 2020. It is expected to have substantial growth in the future.
To continue the successful expansion, PSP Thailand is now looking for a highly motivated and results driven fundraising professional capable of providing a meaningful mid-value donor journey and building relationships with existing mid-value donors and prospects, and finally successfully transitioning mid-value donors to major donors.
