Health Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR)About Global CitizenGlobal Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty. On our platform, Global Citizens learn about the systemic causes of extreme poverty, take action on these issues, and earn rewards for their actions as part of a global community committed to lasting change. Global Citizens have taken over 42.9 million actions since 2009. Today, these actions, in combination with high-level advocacy work, have led to over $49 billion being distributed to our partners around the world, impacting 1.3 billion lives in the fight to end extreme poverty.
Role OverviewGlobal Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens using collective action to help end extreme poverty. We combine citizen-led campaigning with high-level advocacy and partnership building to secure commitments and mobilize resources that drive measurable impact.
Global Citizen is launching a multi-year global campaign to transform demand for and access to contraception and voluntary family planning into a mainstream global cause, grounded in agency, wellbeing, opportunity, and shared responsibility.
This role is anchored in gender health outcomes, with a specific focus on contraceptive access as a driver of agency, well-being, and economic opportunity.
The defining goal of this campaign is to mobilize additional funding in new resources from private sector partners and consumers through Global Citizen’s platforms and campaigns, directing funds and in-kind contributions through established, trusted delivery channels.
This role is the day-to-day campaign lead responsible for building the capital mobilization engine, converting consumer engagement into giving at scale, and securing private sector financial and in-kind contributions that result in delivered resources. This is not an aid program delivery. Success is measured by delivered funding and in-kind value, conversion performance, and the strength of the partnership and execution architecture required to reach campaign goals.
Required Skill and Experience- Ten years of experience in global advocacy, campaigning, partnerships, or government relations, ideally in gender equity, global health, development financing, or related fields
- Demonstrated ability to build campaigns from concept through execution, including narrative strategy, public messaging, and coalition work
- Strong fluency in gender health and rights ecosystem dynamics, with an outcomes-oriented approach to navigating political sensitivity
- Proven ability to mobilize and manage private sector and non-traditional funding pathways, including brand partnerships, corporate giving, in-kind contributions, and innovative consumer engagement mechanisms
- Excellent writing and communications skills, including the ability to produce crisp briefs and partner-ready materials under tight timelines
- Strong project management capability across multiple workstreams and stakeholders, with comfort operating in fast-moving environments
- Collaborative working style and experience coordinating cross-functional teams and external partners across time zones
- Experience working with multilateral systems or established delivery channels is strongly preferred
- Comfort working with measurement frameworks and performance reporting, with a bias toward delivered outcomes, not only announcements

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) Political participationBackground:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
Women’s political participation is one of UN Women’s primary areas of work, recognizing the role of women’s leadership in strong and stable democratic processes and inclusive societies. It is covered under the Entity’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025 Impact Area 1 – Participation and Governance in Public Life: “Women and girls participate in leadership and decision making and benefit from gender responsive governance”. One of the key initiatives to accelerate gender equality in this thematic area is to monitor progress in achieving the 50/50 gender balance in decision-making at all levels through data collection and dissemination for SDG indicators under the custody of UN Women, including SDG indicator 5.5.1b (women’s representation in local government).

Within this framework, UN Women is seeking to recruit an intern to provide support to legislative reviews, literature review, and data monitoring undertaken by the Section. Under the supervision of the Policy Specialist on Local Government, the Intern will support ongoing work on key niche areas on women’s political participation including on: (i) representation in local government; (ii) representation in executive positions; (iii) electoral information and data on women’s political participation; and (iv) women’s participation in political processes, including women’s suffrage.
