You may be a strong fit if…
- Professionals with a background in sustainable agriculture, supply-chain due diligence, or blended finance seeking to impact national-level environmental policy.
- Candidates possessing both advanced educational credentials and relevant private sector partnership experience in Indonesia.
- Bilingual applicants fluent in English and Indonesian who excel in multi-stakeholder dialogue between government and private entities.
What should you think carefully about?

- The application window is relatively short at two weeks, requiring prompt submission.
How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This role provides an excellent platform for mid-career development professionals aiming to bridge the gap between corporate sustainability and United Nations development goals. It offers hands-on experience in mobilizing private capital and shaping regulatory frameworks for sustainable commodities in a major emerging economy.
Our take
Strongly recommended for experienced sustainability and private sector partnership specialists with regional expertise who want to drive systemic market transformation within UNDP. Candidates without professional experience in private sector engagement or sustainable value chains may find the role less suitable.
