SENIOR DIRECTOR, PARTNERSHIP INTEGRATION

CARE is an international NGO with local staff and community partners in more than 90 countries. We create local solutions to poverty and inequality and we seek dignity for everyone every day and during times of crisis. These solutions have a broad range, from clean water to access to education; from microfinance to ensuring that everyone has nutritious food; from agriculture and climate change to disaster response. CARE puts women and girls at the center of everything we do because they have proven to be the best hope for creating lasting change in the world. Our staff live where they work, which makes us effective at understanding the challenges they face. We’ve been doing this for over 70 years, since World War II. It started with the world’s first CARE Package® of food for the post-war hungry in Europe. Our work today is as important as ever, we believe that poverty and inequality are historic injustices that we can end within a generation, for good. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us, and fight with CARE.

The Senior Director of Partnership Integration, reporting to the AVP of Corporate Partnerships, will lead across a set of CARE initiatives, bringing our mission and programs into alignment with our corporate partners philanthropic and social impact objectives.

Drive revenue: You’ll work directly with the AVP of Corporate Partnerships and the Cooperate Partner team to identify and harvest new revenue and program opportunities across our set of partners, whether existing/traditional CARE partners or new partnerships as they form. Expect to work on a sweeping cause marketing initiative one day, on a 5 year program to drive financial inclusion for women another day, and to help raise funds in response to humanitarian crises when they occur. It’s never dull!

Make a difference: Our partners work with CARE toward a wide range of outcomes, from providing humanitarian relief in the wake of natural disasters to ensuring safe access to clean water, food, and health services, to supporting financial inclusion for women globally. The SD of Partnership Integration will drive coordination and collaboration across these efforts for greatest impact and benefit.

Amplify our voice: At the same time, we work with these partners to drive awareness and advocacy, to highlight best practices, and to set and achieve commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals. Working with our AVP of Corporate Partners, you’ll lead in synthesizing and delivering on a common communications framework to help our partners (and CARE) maximize their voice as well as their impact.
