Job description

OPERATIONS ASSOCIATE

Supporting Church Planting work from Morocco to Iran

Our team is working across the full spectrum of church planting - from pioneering efforts where we're celebrating our first local disciples, to explosive movements where churches are multiplying. In one nation, we're nurturing a handful of reproducing churches. In another, indigenous leaders are planting new churches every week. Across this diverse landscape - from the hardest ground to the ripest harvest fields - we're hitting operational limits. We urgently need an Operations Associate who can help us scale intelligently, supporting both the slow pioneering work and the rapid multiplication movements that God is orchestrating.

THE REALITY

This role is half executive support, half project management, and completely essential. You will base in a city in North Africa to work directly with senior leadership coordinating efforts that span from Morocco to Iran, affecting work in multiple Muslim nations where tens of millions have never heard the Gospel clearly.

When you excel in this role, field leaders spend more time training and coaching church planters instead of wrestling with logistics. Strategy meetings happen smoothly. Resources reach the right people at the right time. The infrastructure supports frontline ministry.

WHO YOU ARE

• Sees needs and takes initiative
• Takes a chaotic situation and naturally creates order
• Can support leadership one moment and independently run a major project the next
• Actually follows through on everything, every time
• Learns fast and adapts faster
• Gets genuinely excited about making things run better

We need someone who understands that in this context, being operationally excellent has a direct impact on ministry effectiveness and impact among the least reached.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

Supporting Leadership (50%)

• Manage calendars, communication, and priorities for senior leadership
• Handle sensitive correspondence with partners across the region
• Track critical documents, deadlines, and decisions
• Coordinate complex international travel

Running Operations (50%)

• Lead logistics for events
• Manage relationships with international volunteers and local vendors
• Own project timelines and budgets
• Build and improve our operational systems
• Create training and operational resources
• Handle financial reporting and documentation
• Identify gaps and develop solutions

Growing Personally

• Learn Arabic or French
• Participate in local outreach and discipleship
• Develop ministry skills

THE IMPACT

• Church planting teams operating in sensitive areas
• Training programs for indigenous leaders across the region
• Strategic initiatives we're running from North Africa to Iran
• Better coordination between multiple teams and organizations

Your work directly enables:

This isn't theoretical - we're talking about real people, real churches, real transformation happening now.

REQUIREMENTS

Professional

• Proven track record in project management or operations
• Experience with event coordination
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong organizational abilities

Personal

• Committed Christian with a clear sense of calling to the unreached
• Active in your local church
• Age 21+ with emotional maturity
• Culturally adaptable
• Financially stable (no credit card debt)
• Agreement with basic evangelical theology (Lausanne Covenant)
• Skilled in conflict resolution

The X-Factor

• You take initiative - you don't wait to be told what to do
• You're reliable - people know they can count on you completely
• You're improving things constantly
• You can handle complexity without getting overwhelmed
• You're excited about being part of something bigger than yourself

WHY NOW?

We're at a critical point. The ministry engagement and the live movements we're supporting are growing faster than our current infrastructure can handle. We need someone who can step in immediately and help us build systems that can scale with the opportunity. This isn't about maintaining status quo - it's about positioning for growth.

This is a chance to use your operational gifts in one of the most strategic mission fields in the world, working with teams that are seeing breakthrough in places that have been resistant to the Gospel for centuries.
