Contract

This is a Consultancy contract. More about Consultancy contracts.

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, hope

The PFP Individual Giving section based in Geneva is a lead participant in the Supporter Engagement Strategy (SES), which aims to increase the global acquisition and engagement of UNICEF’s diverse supporter base, including donors, advocates, and volunteers. A key part of the strategy is to replace the incumbent CRM systems currently in place in 21 country offices with Salesforce-based technology.

To achieve this, UNICEF has built a CORE Salesforce package that contains functionality applicable to all UNICEF offices for fundraising and supporter management which provides the cornerstone for each individual local implementation. As well as priming offices for the preparation of implementation, the success specialist will be responsible for ensuring that offices have stabilized on the new system and are using it effectively after the implementation.

How can you make a difference?

The individual contractor will ensure that UNICEF offices that have gone live in the region with Salesforce / Marketing Cloud are able to maximize their fundraising performance by supporting them with all aspects of fundraising operations represented in the system.

At the point of hand over from the implementation team, the success specialist will be responsible for continuation of ‘business as usual’, which includes: further refining business processes for maximum efficiency, prioritizing bugs or enhancement requests, data hygiene and standardization, maintaining discipline to required coding standards and reporting mechanisms, identifying new opportunities to add to the CORE UNICEF system, and ensuring that each office maintains a clear plan for further development of the system.

MAIN TASKS

• Support the upgrade of payment processes to improve operational efficiency and mitigate risk.

• Ensure offices use the system as it was designed, maintaining data hygiene, data standardization, coding structures, campaign hierarchies, and related business processes at all times.

• Ensure that supporter data integrates in the right manner with Marketing Cloud to serve journeys

• Support the development of supporter journeys through updating them and performing tests in collaboration with each office.

• Advise markets on ongoing data analytics workstreams such as rich data metrics and dashboards.

• Track the global developments in fundraising and engagement platforms across the sector, and beyond, maintaining relationships with key contacts in the technology industry.
• Identify opportunities to update/upgrade systems and platforms, and develop the business case for doing so.
• Support the continual development of analytical models including the introduction of AI technologies.

• Support the making of business decisions from a fundraising, supporter experience and satisfaction viewpoints, taking cost and ROI into consideration to make recommendations to business and product owners where appropriate.

• Identify and develop areas of business process improvement, or where local processes can be adapted to CORE functionality, or propose enhancements to CORE.

• Contribute to the development and review of assets for the SES Deployment Suite, and guidance to countries as needed.
• Provide ad-hoc training to users / offices as required
• Manage a clear plan for each office in the region for the development of the system and ensure that resources are available for delivery.

DELIVERABLES

• Ensure that each UNICEF office using the SES platform is using the system as effectively as possible, in a compliant fashion and optimised for fundraising performance.
