JOB TITLE: Individual Giving - Product Lead

DUTY STATION: Remote

CONTRACT TYPE: Short-Term, Regular Consultant (CST-2)

DURATION: 11 months

LINE MANAGER/SUPERVISOR: Head of International Individual Giving

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The Private Partnerships Division (PSP) is responsible for mobilizing resources from the private sector.

PSP has developed an ambitious five-year strategy and our ambition is based on need.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies, and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience.

Work as hard as we might, through drought and floods, conflict and peace, disasters natural or man-made, the needs are immense and growing.

828 million people in the world do not have enough food to eat.

To get to a world with _Zero Hunger_ faster, WFP has significantly increased resources in recent years from donor governments, and now investing in and growing private sector fundraising to reach more people.

WFP's private sector strategy (2020 - 2025) has already dramatically increased income from individuals to help reach more people and get to _Zero Hunger_ faster, using new digital engagement tools to reach audiences across the globe in a flexible and cost-effective way.

Traditional individual fundraising in our sector was primarily conducted through offline channels and implemented through national fundraising operations.

The individual fundraising market now looks very different, with the vast majority of potential donors having a digital presence and comfort with transacting online.

WFP has a unique opportunity to define its approach amid this digital change, and leapfrog peers through its creation of a digital-led fundraising strategy that engages people worldwide from one centralized team.
