Fundraising Content and Campaigns Project Lead

Job Description

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

In a digital world the need for clear and engaging content for building awareness and driving donations is greater than ever. In this role as the interim Fundraising Content and Campaigns Project Lead, you will consolidate the voices and needs of the fundraising community and support in the creation of joint fundraising packages and marketing campaigns for the global organization.

You will be part of the Global Fundraising Hub, a high-performing team that supports the global organization to fundraise in more strategic ways, build capacity, scale up and optimize fundraising opportunities as well as foster collaboration and co-creation across the global organization. We work closely with both local fundraising entities and global teams.

You will act as the link between programs, communications and fundraising to establish effective working processes and create the necessary framework needed to plan, develop, produce and launch global fundraising campaigns and emergency appeals.

The Project Lead will consolidate needs, create briefs, lead global networks and train staff in fundraising content creation.
