Associate, Global Lead Individual Giving

**Associate, Global Lead Individual Giving**:
**Context**:
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We take action in response to emergencies and longer-term systemic responses and at the same time promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence. We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.

In the context of growing humanitarian needs, the ICRC launched its Resource Mobilization Strategy 2020-2030 to guide advancement efforts over the course of the next decade. This strategy is underpinned by the Movement-wide Principles for Resource Mobilization, adopted at the 2017 Council of Delegates, which articulate a vision in which resource mobilization within the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement becomes more than the sum of individual efforts by different Movement components. The ICRC is committed to working together with National Societies and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent) to maximize collective potentials.

A Strategy Implementation Plan process will guide this evolution to deliver increasing income for the ICRC and the other Movement components with which it actively collaborates on private sector engagement.
