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.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Senior Content Manager, working on Soccer Aid for UNICEF - the biggest celebrity football match in the calendar and UNICEF UK’s biggest broadcasted fundraising event. Since its inception in 2006, Soccer Aid for UNICEF has raised more than £121 million, helping to protect every child’s right to play. 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Soccer Aid for UNICEF and the team has ambitious plans to mark this milestone, which this role will be pivotal in delivering.

The Senior Content Manager provides strategic oversight and comprehensive support to the Soccer Aid for UNICEF multi-functional delivery team. This role is critical in ensuring a cohesive brand and unified voice across all channels, delivering audience-centric content that aligns with the key objectives of increasing ticket sales, fundraising, and enhancing viewership. This role is ideal for a strategic thinker and proactive creative leader who is passionate about creating impactful content that drives engagement and supports the overarching goals of the Soccer Aid for UNICEF campaign.

We are seeking an individual who is experienced in implementing an engaging and audience-led content strategy, with evidence of effective campaign delivery. The successful applicant should have excellent communication skills and be able to manage multiple conflicting priorities, working in a high-pressure campaign environment.

Closing date: 5pm, 13 July 2025.

Interview Date

First round: Thu 24 July (online).

Second round: Wed 30/ Thu 31 July (online).

In Return, We Offer

• excellent pay and benefits (including flexible working, generous annual leave and pension, big brand discounts and wellbeing tools)
• outstanding training and learning opportunities and the support to flourish in your role
• impressive open plan office space and facilities on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
• an open culture and workplace with colleagues who share our values, enjoy their work and are motivated to do their utmost for children.
• the opportunity to work in a leading children’s organisation making a difference to children around the world
  
  

Our application process: We use a system called "Applied" that anonymises your responses and focuses on your actual skills that are relevant to this role. This benefits you by giving you a greater chance of expressing your skills in this objective selection process.

We anticipate most colleagues will work one or two days a week in the office on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and the rest of the time from home. We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at UNICEF UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.
