Senior Direct Marketing Officer – Retention

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

The Direct Marketing Team is responsible for recruiting and developing support for Unicef’s work from individual members of the public.  We do this using a wide range of media including direct dialogue, print, DRTV, Outdoor, Radio and digital.  We’re a fast-paced, friendly and supportive team where attention to detail and teamwork deliver award winning results.  As a result of growth and internal movement, this vacancy is one of a number of opportunities we will be recruiting for over the coming weeks.

As Senior Direct Marketing Officer, you will play a key role in supporting the work of the Retention Team and wider Direct Marketing Team to help us achieve our ambitious goals.  You will have the opportunity to build on strategies in relation to mobile and cash activity for our retention programme, and you will line manage members of the team.  

To succeed in this role, you’ll need to have experience of developing direct marketing strategy and complex testing programmes, as well as excellent communication skills so that you can build strong relationships with colleagues, agencies and suppliers. You must also be skilled at managing multiple projects at the same time while maintaining a high level of drive and commitment.
