MAF is truly unique. We’re a global not-for-profit mission whose vision is to see isolated communities changed by the love of Christ. Our mission is to bring help, hope and healing through aviation and we’re a lifeline to many. Aviation means we can fly to remote areas to save lives and provide much needed services – emergency medical evacuation, food supplies, educational support, spiritual healing and disasters relief work.

If you love building and supporting high performance teams, and using your technical expertise to deliver outstanding service for our mission, this could be for you! Reporting to the CFO, you’ll be a key member of the financial leadership team, contributing to the delivery of the financial strategy in alignment with the organisation’s vision and mission.

This role is one-year to support the team through a CFO transition, and a wider organisational transformational project, but may be extended.

This role is based either in Ashford, UK or the Cairns, Australia Office. Hybrid working patterns are supportable with weekly presence in the office. Other locations would be considered if the ideal candidate is identified.

Salary: £52,900-£59,300 (UK) / AUD $97,100 - AUD 110,300 (AUS) depending on experience

Duration: 1 year fixed term

Closing date: Friday 6th June
