Reporting to our Board of Trustees and Chief Growth Officer – MMI, you will provide inspirational strategic and operational leadership to Mary’s Meals UK (MMUK), to drive and lead ongoing growth and innovation, as we strive to grow our movement and raise awareness and funds, on a national scale. With an entrepreneurial approach to growth, you will be bold and brave, seeking new opportunities and partnerships to foster growth, whilst nurturing our existing, deeply committed supporters.

As Executive Director, you will demonstrate strong leadership and bring proven experience of engaging and leading a leadership team through periods of growth and change, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Strategy development, implementation and execution will be key to success, and you will demonstrate service, simplicity and stewardship to support agile growth across a variety of sectors and regions.

MMUK is the largest and longest established National Affiliate in the Mary’s Meals network, currently raising c.£20M to support global school feeding programmes, reaching children living some of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.

Key responsibilities:

· Collaborate with the MMUK Board of Trustees and MMI to lead the design and execution of an ambitious growth strategy, to ensure the organisation can achieve its mission and stays true to our values.

· In collaboration with our Director of Supporter Engagement & Income, develop and deliver an ambitious fundraising strategy for MMUK, focused on growing our supporter base, developing new partnerships and nurturing existing partnerships with various networks and other grassroots communities.

· Work with our Director of Communications to develop and implement an ambitious media and communications strategy to drive growth.

· Manage, monitor and report on the progress against organisational goals and objectives, in collaboration with our Director of Finance & Operations.

· Serve as the primary liaison to our Board of Trustees: manage, inspire and cultivate the board relationships.

Mission-driven, with extensive experience of leading a high performing non-profit or profit-making entity, on a similar scale. You will have experience across a broad range of strategic and operational functions and will combine your proven ability to drive growth, develop and nurture productive relationships and inspire our movement. Strategic in outlook, you will role model our dearly held values, inspiring and engaging everyone involved in our movement and representing MMUK to key supporters, donors and stakeholders.

You will also need:

· Significant experience of providing inspirational leadership to a senior management team and a wider organisation, with the ability to develop and live organisational culture.

· Strong experience of developing and executing strategies to drive revenue generation or fundraising.

· Experience of representing an organisation to key supporters, donors and stakeholders.

· Deep commitment to Mary’s Meals’ vision and mission and reaching the next child waiting.

· Familiarity with Churches and Christian networks would be advantageous but certainly not essential, as would the ability to represent MMUK in faith-based networks with confidence and credibility.

We are a global movement supported by people from all walks of life and we are focused on one goal – that every child receives a nutritious daily meal in a place of education. As an organisation, named after Mary the mother of Jesus and shaped by Christian values, we feel that the way we do things is as important as the result and we welcome all who wish to play their part in our important work. We continue to change the lives of over 2.4 million children who today will receive Mary’s Meals.

We are a values-driven organisation, we believe in the innate goodness of people, respect the dignity of every human being and family life and believe in good stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. In line with our values, Mary’s Meals is fully committed to a culture of safeguarding.

We have an office in Glasgow and London for those who would like to work from here occasionally or on a regular basis.
