Job Description:
Office/Unit/Project Description:
This section provides background information on the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its role in sustainable development. It highlights the importance of the Global Policy Network (GPN) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) in providing technical expertise and policy guidance.
Crucially, it introduces the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH), established by UNDP to mobilize investment in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SFH aims to direct significant public and private capital towards sustainable development and promote impact integrity.
The core focus of this position is supporting the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD). This is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative dedicated to creating a framework for reporting and managing risks, opportunities, impacts, and dependencies related to inequality and social issues. The TISFD involves a diverse group of participants, including investors, businesses, labor organizations, civil society, policymakers, and academics.
The TISFD framework is expected to be developed over three years (until late 2027). The Taskforce Secretariat is responsible for coordinating the Taskforce’s activities, engaging with stakeholders through various governance bodies (Alliance, Knowledge Partners, Regional Councils), and interacting with the public. This Engagement Analyst position will be part of this Secretariat, working primarily virtually.
Scope of Work:
The Engagement Analyst will play a vital role in building and maintaining relationships with TISFD stakeholders and the broader public. The key responsibilities are outlined in four main areas:

Responsibilities include responding to inquiries, coordinating outreach, managing applications, contributing to the review process, onboarding new members, and ensuring they feel welcomed and informed.
- Set up and maintain stakeholder management systems: This is a crucial operational function. The analyst will be responsible for implementing and managing a contact management system, specifically using HubSpot CRM. This involves maintaining an accurate database of stakeholders, tracking engagement using CRM insights, and utilizing Mailchimp for communications like newsletters.
- Manage TISFD global events planning: The analyst will be involved in the logistical coordination of TISFD events, both virtual and in-person. This includes preparing for events, coordinating technology setup, scheduling calls with speakers, managing RSVPs, facilitating smooth event execution, and tracking relevant data to inform future outreach.
- Provide operational support on day-to-day engagement activities and knowledge sharing: This covers a range of essential tasks. The analyst will conduct due diligence on potential partner organizations, manage the TISFD inbox (responding to emails), draft newsletters, coordinate with the team to develop materials for stakeholders, take meeting minutes, and document best practices and lessons learned.

The Engagement Analyst will report directly to and be supervised by the Executive Director of the TISFD’s Secretariat within UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub.
