MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
Project Lead, Africa
Do you have gifts in administration and enjoy working cross-culturally? Are you able to bring clarity to complex projects?
We are looking for a skilled project lead to support our strategic partner in making disciples in contexts affected by armed conflict – focusing on South Sudan and DR Congo.
You will be a vital support in building a movement with input from multiple organisations, having a clear overview of strategic activities and how they come together to serve the project’s aims.
Based in South Sudan your role would include:
- Liaising with different stakeholders to track programme activities and progress
- Supporting the team to implement plans on the ground
- Compiling reports for stakeholders and funders
- Gathering stories from multiple contexts and partners to illustrate the impact of ongoing work
- Liaising with CMS and CMS-Africa especially in communications and impact reporting
- Providing administrative support
You must have a mature and living relationship with Jesus, have experience of engaging with marginalised people and of working cross-culturally. You will need experience and training in development and/or community programmes. You will be a team player, able to build relationships quickly across cultures.
