It gets you out of bed in the morning and pays the bills, but are you looking for much more from your job?
In joining Mary’s Meals, you will become part of a global movement supported by people from all walks of life, focused on one simple goal – that every child receives a nutritious daily meal in their place of education.
From small beginnings feeding just 200 Malawian children in 2002, we are now reaching 1,230,171 children in 14 countries around the world with a daily meal in school.
We are looking for an exceptional individual to work with and support our international fundraising organisation, Mary’s Meals Spain. You will report to the Board and be focused on raising awareness of poverty around the world and communicating Mary’s Meals Spain’s response to this issue. You will support the development of Mary’s Meals Spain including the strategic and organisational development and implementation of a fundraising strategy.
We are looking for someone to lead, design, deliver and implement a strategy to ensure the organisation can achieve its mission and objectives and involve the board, volunteers, advisors and employees in ongoing strategic planning that will enable and support ongoing growth and sustainability.
You will have significant senior management experience in a growing organisation, preferably within a charitable fundraising environment and be responsible for supporting strategy, communication, finance, fundraising and strengthening the Board.
You will be a strong leader and decision maker with a collaborative and coaching approach, who is comfortable working with internal, external colleagues and stakeholders, and who can manage differing and conflicting priorities with ease. It is essential that you have experience of effectively leading continuity, change and transition and that you have excellent communications skills and are fluent in Spanish, Catalan and English. You will have strong leadership and management skills and able to negotiate, consult and influence at a strategic level and have an effective influencing style which engages others.
If you would like to showcase your relationship building expertise working with a wide range of people across different countries and settings and can advocate passionately about our global movement we want to speak with you.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate who has significant leadership experience but who can operate at all levels to get the job done. You will also have an intimate knowledge of Spain and an understanding of Spanish administration.
The role is based in Barcelona however you will be required to travel countrywide and will be required to travel to Mary’s Meals International offices in Scotland as required.
If you would like to make a difference to the lives of thousands of children across the world, we’d love to hear from you. By contributing to the work of Mary’s Meals, you will become part of a worldwide movement of people who will not accept that any child in this world of plenty should endure a day without a meal.
