This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as Senior Risk and Risk and Research Officer.

The role sits in the Resource Hub Team, in the Partnerships & Philanthropy function. The Resource Hub’s purpose is to empower Partnerships colleagues to deliver best in class relationship management, by providing sector-leading professional services such as partner research, risk screening and strategic writing, to enable the team to fully focus on raising money for the world’s children. Acting as a centralised service unit and coordination point for proposal-writing, SRM, research, and administrative support, the Resource Hub’s added value is critical to UUK’s success in maximising our most critical relationships.

The Senior Risk and Research Officer will provide a first-class research and due diligence service, by supporting the Unicef UK risk screening process for selected individuals and organisations. The role will have a particular focus on Talent, including Ambassadors, High Profile Supporters and other warm supporters. This includes maintaining and helping manage the risk screening process; researching individuals or organisations as part of the screening process; and supporting the Ambassador Relations, Soccer Aid, Philanthropy, Foundations, Corporate, Executive and other teams as required by providing risk-based research profiles. This role offers a high level of autonomy and, as such, the post-holder will be expected to work independently, with minimal supervision.
