The SCI Website is a very important digital platform for Save the Children to engage and communicate information with the public to drive campaign support and fundraising. The platform of Save the Children International’s website is currently on an older version of Drupal which is reaching its end of life and so needs to be moved onto a newer version. The functionality and content within the website also needs to be upgraded to it better enables Save the Children’s Global Digital Engagement function to meet its strategic objectives. The redevelopment of the SCI Website will ultimately drive an increased number of people to it, which will lead to increased numbers of donations, greater levels of brand awareness, and improved campaigns support.
To be successful, the Senior Project Manager should be open to rolling up their sleeves to really understand the SCI Website and what the key requirements are of the Global Digital Engagement function to redevelop it.
