Your role

A key part of CMS’s approach to mission is to engage in mission through partnership with locally based organisations and people (we call these “strategic partners”). CMS seeks to bring value to these partnerships in three key ways: catalysing and building movement, resourcing mission activity (through grants) and placing people.

Your role (working under the guidance of the mission manager) is to apply the relevant policies, processes and systems across partnerships in Latin America, in support of the mission team’s work, while fostering healthy, relational and mission-focused partnerships.

The organisation you’ll be joining

Church Mission Society is comprised of people who are passionate about mission and fired up about helping people follow Jesus. For over 200 years CMS has been at the forefront of global mission, living out the gospel of Jesus, seeing lives changed and communities transformed. If you join CMS you will find an organisation that has been reinvigorated with a fresh vision to make disciples of Jesus among people at the edges, both in the UK and around the world.

What you’ll need to succeed

The successful candidate will have proven experience of partnership management and development as well as understand grant-making and capacity-building processes. S/He will have strong analytical skills, be comfortable with maths, finance and data, demonstrate clear written and spoken ability in English and Spanish, be relational and able to influence/inspire (work through others) and think logically.

It is also a requirement for this post holder to be a practising Christian and committed to CMS’s values and aims.
