Who We Are

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization advancing children’s rights and equality for girls. Operating in Indonesia since 1969, Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia) was established as a national entity in 2017.

Under Country Strategy 5 (2023–2027), our ambition is bold: 3 million girls and young women empowered to learn, lead, decide, and thrive.

To achieve this, we are building a future-ready, financially resilient organisation—one that delivers lasting impact through strong programs, trusted partnerships, influential advocacy, and sustainable funding.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role with real scale and influence.

As Resource Mobilization & External Relations Director, you will lead the organisation’s fundraising growth, brand positioning, and external engagement strategy, while shaping how Plan Indonesia is seen, trusted, and supported by donors, partners, media, and the public.

• Drive ambitious fundraising targets across multiple channels
• Champion innovation, performance, and people development
• Sit on the Country Leadership Team (CLT) and act as a strategic partner to the Executive Director

• Build and maintain high-level relationships with media leaders, journalists, influencers, public figures, corporates, and partners.
• Ensure strong alignment between communications, campaigns, advocacy, and fundraising to maximise collective impact.

3. Leadership of a High-Performing, People-Centred Team

• Lead, coach, and inspire a large, multi-disciplinary team (30+ staff).
• Translate targets into clear performance plans and monitor progress rigorously.
• Build future leaders through capacity development, coaching, and succession planning.
• Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, collaboration, and well-being.

4. Strategic Leadership & Governance

• Actively contribute to the Country Leadership Team (CLT) and organisational decision-making.
• Support the Executive Director in governance, board reporting, and external representation.
• Represent Plan Indonesia within the global Plan International network.
• Act as Deputy to the Executive Director when required.
• Serve as a role model for Plan Indonesia’s values, ethics, and inclusive culture.

5. Safeguarding, GEDSI & PSHEA Leadership
