About The Position
UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do for as long as we are needed. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built. We offer our staff diverse opportunities for professional and personal development that will help them reinforce a sense of purpose while serving children and communities across the world. We welcome everyone who wants to belong and grow in a diverse and passionate culture, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Safe Online has a decade of impact in child online protection and is expanding its scope into children's wellbeing in the digital age. The team has built a strong foundation for resource mobilization — including a financing narrative, engagement through the Coalition for Financing of Safe Digital Futures, a robust evidence base, and active donor relationships. What is now needed is dedicated capacity to help the team translate these assets into systematic outreach that secures new funding commitments for the next replenishment cycle, with a particular focus on the European philanthropy and partnership landscape. The consultant will work in close partnership with the Safe Online team, guided by the Executive Director. This is not a standalone exercise — it builds directly on the body of work the team has developed and translates it into outreach-ready formats and concrete funder conversations. The consultant brings dedicated fundraising bandwidth, network access within the European landscape, and pitch development skills to complement the team's existing strengths.
