Organizational Context and Scope IOM Tokyo was established in 1981 and has two functions: strengthen cooperation and partnership with the Japanese public and private sectors in support of displaced persons, vulnerable migrants and refugees worldwide; and support Japan in adapting to its own migration dynamics. In Japan, IOM works with different Ministries and local partners in implementing projects including return and reintegration assistance to victims of trafficking, refugee resettlement, assisted voluntary return and reintegration and migration health. IOM works with private sector actors on a broad range of IOM activities, including humanitarian assistance, health, labour migration and counter-trafficking. IOM’s interaction with the private sector is multifaceted; the Organization has received technological, financial, human resources and other support from the private sector to save and improve the lives of people on the move including displaced persons and migrants in vulnerable situations due to conflict, environmental shocks, economic hardship, or exploitation, and those at risk of displacement. In addition, IOM partners with companies and foundations to help enhance its operational and strategic performance as well as to gather data and advocate regarding migration issues. IOM Tokyo established a dedicated Private Sector Partnership Unit as part of the External Relations Team in 2024 to advance strategic resource mobilization and partnerships with private sector actors and philanthropic partners, fostering innovative and principled collaboration, to support those most affected by conflicts or natural disasters, or lack of opportunity. In addition, encouraged by the Japanese government’s call for collaboration with the private sector to foster innovation and achieve greater impact, IOM Tokyo is actively promoting public-private partnerships (PPPs). Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission and direct supervision of the Senior Private Sector Engagement Officer in Tokyo Office, and in close coordination with the Regional Office and Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) Unit at the Headquarters, the National Private Sector Partnerships Officer will play a key role in supporting the development, coordination, and implementation of private and public-private partnerships.

Responsibilities

The Officer will support the development, coordination, and implementation of private and public-private partnerships across IOM activities like humanitarian assistance, health, labor migration, and counter-trafficking. This role involves mobilizing technological, financial, and human resource support from the private sector to aid people on the move and enhance IOM's operational capacity.
