Since 1994, we have supported more than 1,000 local partners to reach more than 11 million children, and we’re working with new organizations all the time. With unique missions and culturally relevant approaches, GFC partners fiercely pursue our shared vision: securing a safe, vibrant, and equitable future for all children and young people.

You will join a multinational team of caring and committed individuals who believe in investing in bold ideas to help our local partners deepen their impact and advocate for children’s rights. We value courage, excellence, learning, partnership, and inclusion, as well as kindness and passion. Our partners’ visions for change inspire all we do. Feedback and learning inspire us to constantly improve, and we strive to be youth centered.

Role Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team that values creativity and impact and where your work directly contributes to powering the potential of children and young people.

• To increase the number of opted-in email subscribers.
• To convert supporters from people who ‘do’ (follow us on social media, sign up to the mailing list) to people who ‘care’ (fundraise, donate, take an action, share and create user-generated content).

You will collaborate with graphic designers, videographers, various digital agencies and colleagues around the world on a daily basis in undertaking your role coordinating campaigns and our daily social media schedule.

You should have a passion for staying up to date with industry trends and innovations, a track record of creating content aligned with cultural moments and a knowledge of how popular culture can drive social change. You will be skilled in producing viral content and driving actions and donations through social media.

To that end, you will also play a role in building relationships with our growing network of Global Ambassadors who use their networks and influence to raise the profile of our work and inspire their communities to take action.
