Digital Fundraising Consultant

Background:

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

The UN Women Strategic Partnerships Division (SPD) is responsible for proactively driving the strategic positioning of UN Women and ensure that the size, sources and predictability of its resources help the organization achieve its strategic goals. The division is organized into three functional clusters: Public Partnerships; Private Sector Partnerships; and Communications & Advocacy.

The Individual, Digital and Public Giving Team sits in the Private Sector Partnerships Section. At the global level, the team coordinates and provides technical support and strategic advice to Regional and Country Offices on all individual and digital giving activities. The Team also oversees the work of UN Women National Committees (NatComs). UN Women has currently 12 National Committees in the world (Australia, Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), each established as an independent local non-governmental organization. Serving as the public face and dedicated voice of UN Women, the National Committees work tirelessly to raise awareness on women’s rights; secure worldwide visibility for women and girls threatened by poverty, disasters, armed conflict, abuse and exploitation; as well as raise funds from the private sector.

Under the supervision of the Head of Individual, Digital and Public Giving, who will be the point of contact on the contract and payment issues, the Digital Fundraising Consultant will lead UN Women's project to grow on a digital transformation journey to increase revenues and make an impact on women's lives around the world
