About the Role

Reporting to the Executive Director (Australia), the Operations Manager provides both strategic oversight and hands-on leadership across the day-to-day operations of the Australian office.

This is a highly relational role, working closely with staff, volunteers, ministry partners and suppliers, and contributing as a trusted member of the Australian leadership team.

 

About You

You are a committed Christian whose faith shapes how you lead, serve and steward responsibility. You see your vocation as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to Christian ministry.

You will bring:

  • 3–7 years’ experience in operations management (not-for-profit, ministry or service environments highly regarded)

  • Strong people leadership skills, including staff and volunteer oversight

  • Experience across operations such as customer/supporter service, logistics, facilities or systems

  • A continuous improvement mindset with confidence using data and digital tools (CRM experience such as Salesforce desirable)

  • Sound understanding of WHS and compliance obligations
