Are you interested in an exciting leadership opportunity to have significant impact that will make a positive difference in the world?
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.
We are looking for an experienced, impactful and collaborative Director of Strategy to lead a talented team to drive real change in Unicef UK. From transforming processes to create simple, focused and streamlined ways of working, to enhancing our ability to use insights and data enabling the organisation to make great and impactful decisions at pace – this role is about delivering change.
The ideal candidate will thrive in situations that require senior level engagement, be an inspiring leader and bring deep functional expertise.
Act now and visit www.unicef.org.uk/jobs to apply online.
Closing date: 5pm, 26 September 2019.
Interview date: Tuesday 8 October 2019.
We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, candidates with disabilities, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.
Unicef UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.
We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights. CVs will not be accepted.
If you require support in completing the online form or an application form in an alternative format, please contact Supporter Care on 0300 330 5580 during office hours.
If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.
