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 interim Director of Soccer Aid.

The role provides strategic leadership for Soccer Aid for UNICEF, bringing together UNICEF UK, Soccer Aid Productions, ITV, Initial and commercial partners to grow the campaign’s income, reach and impact for children. The role leads the campaign team, owns financial performance and partner relationships, and drives the successful delivery and continued development of the annual fundraising event.

You will need substantial senior strategic leadership experience, including Board-level exposure and a strong track record of leading multidisciplinary teams and complex programmes. You will be an effective relationship builder and negotiator, with excellent communication skills and experience of developing high-profile partnerships and delivering broadcast or large-scale public-facing fundraising campaigns.
