This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as our Head of Digital.

We are looking for a strategic thinker and leader, who can motivate and inspire our organisation to build on our existing capabilities, and make the most of our opportunities to grow our income, influence and impact, through digital.
