Global humanitarian organization scaling digital operations and fundraising
Welthungerhilfe operates a traditional enterprise stack (SAP ECC, SharePoint, Power BI) centered on finance, compliance, and operations reporting — typical for a large nonprofit managing multi-country programs. Current hiring emphasizes marketing (6 open roles) and operations (4), with engineering and product underrepresented (2 each), signaling a sales/fundraising-driven organization beginning digital transformation rather than a tech-forward rebuild. Active projects on CRM modernization and online fundraising platforms align with pain points around data maturity and compliance monitoring, suggesting the organization is shifting from field-first operations toward data-driven campaign and donor management.
