UNICEF is Hiring a Remote Project Manager for Its Global Digital Fundraising Platform: Apply by 15 July 2026 @Unknown

UNICEF is recruiting an Individual Giving GGP2.0 Project/Product Manager Consultant for a 12-month consultancy based in Rome, Italy, with a remote working arrangement and occasional travel. Applications close on 15 July 2026.

Professionals with experience in digital product management, content management systems (CMS), and eCommerce now have an opportunity to work with one of the world’s leading humanitarian organizations.

The consultancy sits within UNICEF’s Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) and will support the development of an enterprise-scale digital fundraising platform used by UNICEF offices across the globe.

Help Build UNICEF’s Next-Generation Digital Fundraising Platform

UNICEF is transforming how it raises funds from individual donors through the Global Giving Platform 2.0 (GGP2)—a modern digital fundraising ecosystem designed to support country offices worldwide.

The platform combines advanced Content Management System (CMS) and Digital Experience Platform (DXP) technologies to create a secure, scalable, and user-friendly online giving experience.

Built on Optimizely, the platform aims to improve donor engagement while helping UNICEF increase fundraising revenue that supports children in more than 190 countries and territories.

The successful consultant will play a key leadership role in managing this enterprise-wide initiative from planning through implementation.

About the Role

Reporting within UNICEF’s Global Individual Giving Fundraising Team, the consultant will co-lead one of the organization’s most important digital transformation projects.

The role focuses on ensuring that the Global Giving Platform is successfully implemented across multiple UNICEF markets while balancing technical requirements, user experience, governance, and fundraising objectives.

Because the platform serves numerous country offices with varying levels of digital maturity, the consultant will work closely with regional teams, technical specialists, vendors, and fundraising professionals around the world.

Key Responsibilities

The Project/Product Manager will oversee the rollout and continuous improvement of the Global Giving Platform.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing the end-to-end implementation of the CMS/DXP platform.
• Coordinating multi-country platform launches.
• Establishing project governance, communication channels, and feedback mechanisms.
• Supporting platform adoption across UNICEF offices.
• Managing project planning, timelines, and budgets.
• Building implementation and business-as-usual resource models.
• Coordinating vendors, agencies, and internal digital teams.
• Managing go/no-go decisions for platform launches.
• Supporting continuous product improvement through iterative development.
• Ensuring the platform remains secure, scalable, and donor-focused.

The consultant will also help strengthen collaboration across UNICEF’s global fundraising community while supporting innovation in digital fundraising.

What UNICEF Is Looking For

UNICEF seeks candidates with strong experience in digital product and project management within enterprise environments.

Applicants should have:

Education

• An advanced university degree in marketing, computer science, engineering, technology, digital media, or another relevant discipline.

Alternatively:

• A bachelor’s degree plus two additional years of relevant professional experience may be accepted.

Professional Experience

Candidates should possess:

• At least five years of experience managing enterprise CMS platform implementations.
• Experience leading end-to-end CMS rollouts.
• Knowledge of CMS architecture.
• Experience managing multi-market CMS migrations.
• Understanding of decentralized and hybrid CMS environments.
• Experience establishing governance structures and communication processes.
• Programme and budget management experience.
• Experience coordinating large-scale digital transformation initiatives.

Preferred Technical Skills

UNICEF notes that several additional skills would strengthen an application.

These include experience with:

• Optimizely CMS and Digital Experience Platform.
• Enterprise product management.
• Design systems and digital design standards.
• AI-powered digital tools or AI agents.
• User experience research and usability testing.
• Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar project management platforms.
• Digital fundraising or subscription-based eCommerce business models.

Professionals with experience working across multiple countries or regions will be particularly well suited to the role.

Language Requirements

Applicants must demonstrate:

• Fluency in English.
• Spanish proficiency for supporting Latin America and Caribbean markets.

Knowledge of another official UN language—including Arabic, Chinese, French, or Russian—is considered an advantage.

Remote Working with International Collaboration

Although administratively based in Rome, Italy, this consultancy offers a remote working arrangement with occasional travel as required.

The successful consultant will collaborate with UNICEF country offices, regional teams, technology vendors, and fundraising experts across different regions, making this an excellent opportunity for professionals who enjoy working in multicultural, international environments.

Application Requirements

Applicants must submit:

• An updated CV through UNICEF’s Talent Management System (TMS).
• A cover letter.
• A separate financial proposal using UNICEF’s required template.

The cover letter should specifically highlight measurable achievements in digital fundraising or performance marketing, including indicators such as:

• Return on Investment (ROI).
• Cost Per Acquisition (CPA).
• Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS).
• Revenue generated.
• Conversion performance across multiple markets.

Providing evidence of successful digital fundraising campaigns or large-scale digital product implementations will strengthen an application.

Why This Consultancy Stands Out

This consultancy offers professionals the opportunity to help shape one of UNICEF’s largest digital fundraising initiatives.

Successful candidates will contribute to a platform that supports fundraising operations across the globe, enabling UNICEF to generate sustainable resources for programmes that improve children’s lives.

Beyond technical expertise, the role combines digital innovation, international collaboration, user-centred design, and strategic project management—making it particularly attractive for professionals seeking impactful work in the nonprofit technology sector.

Application Deadline

Applications for the UNICEF Individual Giving GGP2.0 Project/Product Manager Consultancy close on 15 July 2026.

Professionals with experience in enterprise CMS platforms, digital product management, and global project delivery are encouraged to apply early and ensure all required documents—including the financial proposal—are submitted before the deadline.
