Global Philanthropy and Partnerships Project and Content Manager

ROLE PURPOSE:

Save the Children is launching its ambitious 2022-2024 strategic plan with the aim of significantly increasing both unrestricted and smart restricted funds (smart restricted is defined as income from corporate partnerships, major donors and foundations that funds the priority programmes for children).

This is a new role, interacting with senior fundraisers and leaders internationally.

The Global Philanthropy & Partnerships (P&P) Project and Content Manager will help support, connect, and grow the global Save the Children community of philanthropy and corporate fundraising professionals.

This role will be responsible for helping develop and manage a portfolio of projects and a bank of content which supports fundraising within the Philanthropy and Partnerships community.

More specifically, this role will manage “Project Sponsorship” as a key priority in this strategy cycle.

This role will work with Country office teams, Global Strategy teams and Philanthropy and Partnerships practitioners to develop and manage the portfolio of projects and related content to motivate and inspire donors to support.

The Global Philanthropy and Partnerships Project and Content Manager will coordinate the development of strong content to benefit Members and assist offices with unique selling proposition development where appropriate. In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal job description and be able to vary work hours accordingly.
