JOB TITLE:

Digital Marketing and Compliance Advisor

UNIT/DIVISION:

Private Partnerships Division (PSP)

DUTY STATION:

Remote

CONTRACT TYPE:

Short-Term, WAE 20 days p/m

DURATION:

11 months

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency working to create a world with zero hunger. As leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, WFP delivers food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience.

WFP believes that individual and collective wellbeing can only be achieved if all children, women and men get the nutritious food they need to lead healthy, dignified lives. Each year, WFP assists 86.7 million people in 83 countries. Every day, some 5,600 WFP-chartered trucks are on the road, 92 planes are in the air and 20 ships are at sea. These numbers speak to WFP's unparalleled reputation as an emergency responder, one that is often the first on the scene in the most difficult environments.

WFP also works with partners to strengthen the resilience of communities most vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition through long-term development programmes aimed at boosting food security, local economies, education, employment and gender equality. While hunger and malnutrition are the world's largest solvable issues, the needs are still immense and growing. 821 million people in the world suffer from chronic hunger.

The Private Partnerships Division (PSP) is responsible for engaging the private sector (corporations, individuals, foundations) through high-impact partnerships in support of WFP's strategic priorities, and through individual giving to build and retain support from the general public worldwide. To get to a world with Zero Hunger faster, WFP has significantly increased resources in recent years from donor governments. We are now investing in and grow private sector fundraising to reach more people.

WFP's private sector strategy (2020 – 2025) proposes to dramatically increase 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 centralised team. Our digital focus elevates the importance of an agile approach to delivering opportunities to engage.

WFP is committed to growing private sector fundraising with a focus on fundraising from individuals and have developed two products - and Share The Meal (STM). Individual giving is recognized as a fundraising channel that has been successfully used by other UN agencies generating the bulk of their private sector income. Share the Meal is a successful app. Both products are digital first.

The Individual Fundraising team is looking for a seasoned Digital Marketing and Compliance advisor, who has experience in developing a Data compliance strategy for individual fundraising donation platforms. This person, in strict collaboration with the Manager Strategic Projects, will play a significant role in designing the data compliance framework and developing at the practical level the related standard operating procedures. Given changes in this public-facing donation platform, there is a need to assess the operationalization of these processes, and to update the existing data privacy and protection policy as it relates to WFP's individual supporters to reflect current best practice. This should be completed in line with the launch of the new donate page, to ensure transparency of WFP's processes and to be accountable to WFP's individual

supporters.

To carry out such an assessment of operational processes and to update the existing data compliance policy, WFP requires the support of a subject-matter expert.

Collaborate with WFP PPF's HQ-based Individual Fundraising team on developing a consistent and detailed Data Compliance Framework for individual givers embracing new digital marketing technologies and data enrichment. Support IF on the full end to end operationalisation of the privacy governance and advise on suitable and regular review points. Review previously conducted internal audits and organizational SOP to ensure that privacy policy revisions and operational assessments are taking audit recommendations and WFP Standard Operating Procedures into consideration. Produce robust, detailed data privacy impact assessments to substantiate recommendations, ensuring that the Individual Fundraising Data Compliance Framework evolving approach is aligned with WFP's set of rules as well as digital fundraising industry best practice. Produce clear, revised versions of the data privacy policy notice, capturing WFP's evolving needs and tools. Support the Individual Fundraising team on the development of the Unit Information Security Strategy providing subject expert feedback.

Specific deliverables by the end of the 11-month period would be: 1) Identify best practice for managing prospect

research linked to data privacy and protection, and include this in an update of WFP's existing data privacy policy notice;

2) Support the team drafting detailed data privacy assessments as required defining the related mitigation measures linked to the revised data privacy policy; and 3) Support related and parallel workstreams as appropriate.
