Sector: Digital and Information Technology
Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is a dynamic Christian aviation organisation, using light aircraft to deliver help and hope in Jesus’ name in over 30 developing countries. For more than 75 years, MAF has been transporting patients, relief workers, produce and medical supplies to the world’s remotest regions and places of deepest human need – places where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.
We are looking for a strong proven leader with technical expertise and excellent communication skills who will oversee the IT operations and personnel in our Africa region and other locations. Our expectation is that you will deliver high quality, customer-centric services to support MAF's mission and objectives. You will be committed to the organisation's values and have a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the communities served by MAF.
You will ensure reliable operations and maintenance of IT systems and telecom infrastructure, supporting digital transformation initiatives and adopting cloud computing solutions.
Working in collaboration with the Asia Pacific region, you will ensure seamless IT operations and consistent service delivery alignment across both regions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation while possessing a service-oriented mindset, prioritising the needs of internal and external stakeholders across the organisation.
When it comes to problem solving, you will have a proactive approach and the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
The nature of the role demands flexibility, as escalations and critical issues can occur at any time, requiring immediate attention and resolution. You will need to be prepared to adapt your schedule accordingly to accommodate these situations and ensure ongoing operation of our services.
It will be key to maintain clear communication and coordination across our international offices and ensure collaboration and alignment with the global team; therefore, staff meetings and conference calls that fall outside of typical office hours may be required. There may also be a requirement for local and international travel from time to time.
Minimum Requirements:
* BA Degree in Computer Science, IT or a related field
* Minimum of 5 years industry experience at a management level leading international IT teams
* Proven track record of successfully managing and delivering complex IT projects
* Experience working in a global multicultural environment
* Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CCNP, PMP, CSSP, AWS, CSA, Microsoft Azure SAE, ITIL)
* Familiarity with IT operations in the Africa region
* 10 years industry management level leading international IT teams
CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 27th November 2024
There is an occupational requirement for the job holder of this position to be a committed Christian. The post holder will be expected to lead and take part in prayer and biblical reflection and to be a role model for the organisation in accordance with our Christian beliefs and standards in the workplace.
