Senior Director - Gender Health and Opportunity

Global Citizen•New York, NY

2d•$130,000 - $145,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Global Citizen is launching a multi-year global campaign to transform demand for and access to contraception and voluntary family planning into a mainstream global cause, grounded in agency, wellbeing, opportunity, and shared responsibility. This role is anchored in gender health outcomes, with a specific focus on contraceptive access as a driver of agency, well-being, and economic opportunity. The defining goal of this campaign is to mobilize additional funding in new resources from private sector partners and consumers through Global Citizen’s platforms and campaigns, directing funds and in-kind contributions through established, trusted delivery channels. This role is the day-to-day campaign lead responsible for building the capital mobilization engine, converting consumer engagement into giving at scale, and securing private sector financial and in-kind contributions that result in delivered resources. This is not an aid program delivery. Success is measured by delivered funding and in-kind value, conversion performance, and the strength of the partnership and execution architecture required to reach campaign goals.
