We are delighted to be recruiting for a visionary, mission-driven leader to join Mary’s Meals UK, as Executive Director. 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.

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.

· 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 a remote-first approach to work and are happy for you to work remotely and flexibly, in a way that best supports your work-life balance.
