The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) www.icrc.org responds to worldwide humanitarian needs through its global network of delegations. The ICRC is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance.
In order to ensure the predictable funding of its operations, the ICRC has set itself the goal to increase income from private fundraising streams. The Legacy Officer will join a growing professional team and will work with colleagues in the fields of legacy fundraising.
Ambitions of the unit
In support of the key imperative for the ICRC to become the most trusted Swiss humanitarian organization, the Swiss Market ambition is to become a role-model internally for REM’s integrated market approach to donor engagement, whilst being acclaimed externally for our demonstrable ability to establish and fully leverage leading, strategic, sustainable, humanitarian-focused and mutually beneficial collaborations with the private sector that draw on links with the public sector and the Swiss National Red Cross where relevant.
Purpose of the role
The post-holder will work closely with the Programme Manager Legacies and Gifts and will build relationships and coordination with staff within ICRC and external suppliers in order to maximize corporate contribution to private sector fundraising goals.
S/he will collaborate closely with all the colleagues of the Swiss Market Team, in particular the Private Partnerships & Philanthropy managers for German-speaking Switzerland and the Romandie.
