International job opportunites

The three international websites I chose were United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and Academy for Educational Development.  I chose these because they all have strong work in child advocacy, which is part of my career goal. 

With UNICEF, the position of Manager, Data, and Learning-Foundation Partnership is a job I am interested in.  It requires me to be go around the world and collect data that will be used in creating change for all children.  The qualifications is  a minimum of Bachelor's degree but they prefer an advance degree in international development or advocacy.  I would need a 5 years experience in grant writing and funding. 

With Save the Children, I am interested in a few positions.  One position is Chief of Party "Girls Education Challenge" Programme.  I would need 5 years experience of working in education.  I would need prior senior management level working with fragile or conflict affected states. Another career is Director of YouthSave.  They didn't have any information for qualifications for this position.  I am also interested in Manager of Child Development Grant programme.  This job requires 5 years of overseas experience and grant management.  At least one year experience in the non-profit sector.

Academy for Educational Development has a few interesting positions too.  I would love to be the deputy director of social and behavior change communications.  I would need a masters degree and 15+ years of experience in managing health and communications.
