🏢 About Mary S Meals International

Mary's Meals International is a global movement that sets up school feeding programs in some of the world's poorest communities, providing daily meals to children in their place of education. What makes this organization unique is its grassroots, volunteer-driven approach and its deep commitment to working with local communities and faith-based networks to deliver sustainable change. Someone might want to work here to be part of a mission-driven organization that combines practical humanitarian action with spiritual values and community mobilization.

About This Role

This Audience Manager role focuses specifically on Church Mobilisation, shaping and leading the global strategy to engage faith communities in Mary's Meals' mission.

A typical day might involve virtual meetings with National Affiliate teams in different time zones to discuss local Church engagement challenges, developing resources for parish mobilization, and planning Mary's Meals' participation in upcoming faith-based conferences.
