Part home/part office (London) based

UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as part of the team responsible for producing bespoke communications to engage and steward existing and potential high-net worth supporters with UNICEF’s work for children.

As Partnerships Strategic Writing Executive, you will lead the proposition and impact report development process for UNICEF UK’s high value supporters – including philanthropists, corporate partners and trusts and foundations – for opportunities ranging from £50,000 upwards. You will do this by drafting donor-centric propositions, impact reports and investment cases in support of a broad range of UNICEF’s programmes, initiatives and strategic goals.

To succeed, you will have experience of building winning propositions to engage a specific audience, an ability to synthesize and produce visually compelling and factually accurate content and an ability to manage multiple conflicting priorities.

You will have excellent written communication skills, and the ability to work to tight deadlines, manage multiple conflicting priorities and build strong relationships with multiple internal stakeholders.

Interview date: Monday 20 December, via video conferencing (MS Teams)

For almost 35 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to support homeless people to recover from their personal issues and break down the barriers that they face.
