Private Sector Partnerships Coordinator
Project Overview and Role:
CATALYZE is a $250 million 5 to 8-year program, designed to catalyze $2 billion in private capital, especially to underfinanced social sectors and higher risk countries (especially low-income and post-conflict countries) around the globe, complemented by a cross-cutting inclusion of gender-lens investing. Our aim is for investors to explore and find commercially viable opportunities and approaches to creating jobs, developing sustainable social services, tightening, and rationalizing supply chains, and advancing inclusive growth.
The CATALYZE “Asia Social Protection (ASP)” buy-in in Indonesia activity focuses on improving social protection and economic empowerment of vulnerable female workers in Asia. Through partnerships with the Government of Indonesia, notably BPJS-K, and private partners, CATALYZE will support BPJS-K to promote female informal sector workers’ enrollment with and continued premium payment for Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). CATALYZE is collaborating with BPJS-K to co-create innovative interventions with the private sector that align with current BPJS-K objectives to address challenges to JKN enrollment.
To support this ongoing collaboration and coordination between CATALYZE and BPJS-K, the project is seeking to engage a Private Sector Partnerships Coordinator to continue discussions with private sector partners to facilitate the finalization of the program design. The consultant will be the point of contact for these partners, working closely with BPJS-K and CATALYZE to help finalize the design of the partnership.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities:

The Coordinator will meet regularly with partners to understand potential collaboration with the CATALYZE team and BPJS-K to ensure successful project design and appropriate project implementation.
Based on the interventions co-created by CATALYZE and BPJS-K for implementation, the Coordinator will engage with private sector partners (corporations, philanthropies, civil society organizations) to gather information about their ongoing programs and their interest/ ability to contribute to the CATALYZE program. To help build out the interventions, the Consultant may gather budget data from potential local partners for the Project to estimate the total cost required for pilot implementation.
The Private Sector Partnerships Coordinator will be part of a 4-person team based in Jakarta supporting this design process.
