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, a Partnership

The Digital Strategy Section (DSS) -which includes the Web and Social Media teams- works with people across the Division of Global Communication and Advocacy (GCA) to create compelling public-facing content and to provide digital services within the organization. Through multiple platforms and in multiple languages, DSS draws attention to the many facets of UNICEF’s work, encouraging public support, participation and action, as well as ensuring greater transparency and accountability.

Web stories, blog entries, photo essays, Facebook posts, Twitter campaigns, and videos for distribution via UNICEF.org, YouTube, news media and other outlets and platforms – all are a part of our digital storytelling. By measuring and testing our efforts, we also use data to inform content and engagement choices. The Digital Content Producers (Arabic, French and Spanish) are responsible for strategy and production on the language platforms of the global website (dynamic and evergreen content) and global social media channels in languages, including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

The Digital Language Team seeks to hire an intern to support the team in the creation and/or management of UNICEF’s social media and web content across languages. This includes the creation of compelling social media content based on audience-insights, actively identifying high-performing content, engaging with audiences, working on brand risk and crisis communication, supporting a SEO strategy by helping to identify relevant keywords for web content, creating reports and collaborating with language producers on other aspects of UNICEF’s digital platforms, including digital content management, presentations, reports and guidance material as well as other initiatives as requested; ensuring actions are in line with UNICEF branding, Communication Guidelines, and quality standards.
