Background

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Philippines seeks to strengthen its assistance to the government and key stakeholders as they aim to harness digitalization to improve public services and support inclusive socioeconomic development. It established the Pintig Lab as its in-house analytics unit that also leverages its multidisciplinary network of practitioners of data for decision-making. Pintig Lab aims to ensure that: 1) data-driven policymaking is promoted, 2) the capacity of partners in government, civil society, and within the UNDP Country Office to use data for decision-making is increased, and 3) the data ecosystem for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is strengthened.

Pintig Lab was founded in 2020 to assist the government in bolstering its use of data for COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery. Through the years, the service offering of Pintig Lab has necessarily evolved from the application of advanced data analytics tools and towards building robust data systems and accompanying partners in their respective digital transformation journeys. Over the last three years, the interventions of Pintig Lab in digitalization and analytics have expanded into various domains.

Pintig Lab has active and forthcoming engagements in 2025  in local disaster resilience, SDG and climate finance, enterprise development, and democratic governance and institutions, among others. On local disaster resilience, for instance, Pintig Lab works closely with the UNDP Climate Action Programme Team (CAPT) to support policy research and digitalization on risk-informed planning and increasing investments in resilience through exploring and integrating non-traditional datasets, co-developing mock-up dashboards and platforms, and conducting policy research.

UNDP Philippines’ Pintig Lab is in need of a Digital Projects Analyst (Analyst) to coordinate and support the management of the implementation of Digital Projects from start to finish. The Digital Projects would involve the development of digitalization products such as databases, management information systems, platforms, portals, and dashboards. The Digital Projects Analyst will support the Digitalization and Data Analytics Specialist and the Senior Digital Solutions Architect in overseeing digital products being produced from start to finish within set timelines either in-house at the Pintig Lab or externally by consultants and firms/vendors.
