Save the Children International has an exciting opportunity for you to join our team as the Global Digital Content Producer in Worldwide: Any existing Save the Children International Regional or Country office

ROLE PURPOSE: 

This is a really exciting role suitable for an experienced digital storyteller who is passionate about current digital trends and developing creative digital campaigns to engage audiences in new and innovative ways.

As a global movement Save the Children has exceptionally ambitious digital, advocacy, supporter growth, fundraising and programme delivery targets designed to maximize the positive impact that we can have for children across the world.

Powerful and engaging content is critical to achieving this ambition, whether across fundraising targets, when lobbying for political change, or raising brand and media profile. We are looking to transform the way we tell stories with a digital first approach, creating memorable interactions with supporters through high quality, emotional, authentic global creative content.

The role sits in the Global Creative Content Unit (GCCU) in Save the Children International (SCI), a small and nimble team providing children’s stories and supporter engagement content for the global Save the Children movement.

We are always aiming to improve our integrated approach to working and you will think ‘bigger picture’ to consider how content can be used across the organization, including on non-digital channels.
