About Global Citizen

Global Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty. On our platform, Global Citizens learn about the systemic causes of extreme poverty, take action on these issues, and earn rewards for their actions as part of a global community committed to lasting change. Global Citizens have taken over 42.9 million actions since 2009. Today, these actions, in combination with high-level advocacy work, have led to over $49 billion being distributed to our partners around the world, impacting 1.3 billion lives in the fight to end extreme poverty.

Role Overview

Global Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens using collective action to help end extreme poverty. We combine citizen-led campaigning with high-level advocacy and partnership building to secure commitments and mobilize resources that drive measurable impact.
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 Citizens 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.

Key Responsibilities

Capital Mobilization and Campaign Delivery, 70%

1. Capital Mobilization, Private Sector Partner Acquisition, and Consumer Giving Engine

• Build and execute the integrated resource mobilization strategy across private sector partnerships, consumer giving, matched giving, and in-kind contributions.
• Own the private sector acquisition and monetization engine end to end, including outreach, pitching, negotiation support, activation readiness, and performance management.
• Build and manage a quantified pipeline designed to deliver a meaningful share of the $ funding target, including consumer-facing brands and companies able to contribute cash, commodities, and logistics value.
• Deliver a resource mobilization plan with clear pathways by channel, including:
  • Private sector cash contributions converted into delivered funding
  • In-kind contributions that result in delivered value, including commodities and last-mile logistics
  • Consumer giving via the Global Citizen app, peer-to-peer mechanics, and conversion moments
  • Matched giving structures tied to tentpole moments
  • Cause marketing and solidarity marketing integrations that drive measurable donation volume
• Ensure partner packages and benefits are engineered to produce measurable fundraising or delivered in-kind outcomes, not only visibility.
• Maintain a weekly capital dashboard covering delivered value, pipeline stage, conversion metrics, risks, and mitigations, and keep forecasts current.
• Ensure all resources flow through agreed trusted delivery channels and recipient organizations, aligned with partner requirements and reporting standards, including trusted partners working to expand access to contraception and voluntary family planning services.

2. Consumer Mobilization and Conversion at Scale

• Own the process of design and delivery of action journeys and donation experiences that move users from awareness to giving in minutes.
• Work closely with the communication team to develop assets and education content pieces that are explicitly conversion-oriented, each tied to a donation or resource mobilization mechanism.
• Establish performance measurement for acquisition, engagement, conversion, average gift, repeat giving, and retention.

3. Narrative and Communications to Enable Fundraising

• Lead development of a global narrative framework that supports fundraising at scale, grounded in voluntary, rights-based access and outcomes-oriented framing, including the role of family planning in girls education, womens health, household wellbeing, and economic opportunity.
• Lead on delivery of major media or editorial outputs that reinforce the campaigns fundraising narrative and partner mobilization story.
• Coordinate message review with philanthropic and implementation partners for high-sensitivity moments, ensuring alignment before activation.

4. Ecosystem Coordination and Delivery Channel Alignment

• Coordinate campaign execution with key ecosystem partners and trusted delivery channels, ensuring resources are directed to high-impact delivery and are reportable as delivered value.
• Maintain a clear operating rhythm across internal teams, including decision logs, approvals, and partner readiness milestones required to unlock fundraising moments.

Tentpole Moments and Platform Integration, 30%

1. Tentpole Moments Designed for Resource Delivery

• Integrate the campaign into Global Citizen's tentpole moments with the explicit purpose of converting attention into delivered resources.
• Ensure each tentpole moment has a defined fundraising mechanism, partner match plan, creative content plan, and measurable conversion goal.
• Maintain the principle that specific moments and activations are sequenced in explicit coordination with the Gates team and trusted implementing partners, including partners focused on contraceptive access, voluntary family planning, and broader gender health outcomes.

2. Partner Delivery Lead

• Serve as the main point of contact for assigned donors and partners.
• Translate agreements into fundraising and delivery plans, manage approvals and assets, and deliver final reporting focused on delivered value and conversion outcomes.

• Demonstrated ability to build campaigns from concept through execution, including narrative strategy, public messaging, and coalition work
• Strong fluency in gender health and rights ecosystem dynamics, with an outcomes-oriented approach to navigating political sensitivity
• Proven ability to mobilize and manage private sector and non-traditional funding pathways, including brand partnerships, corporate giving, in-kind contributions, and innovative consumer engagement mechanisms
• Excellent writing and communications skills, including the ability to produce crisp briefs and partner-ready materials under tight timelines

• Collaborative working style and experience coordinating cross-functional teams and external partners across time zones
