The Role

Bible Society believes the Bible is God’s gift for God’s world. We share it because we believe it changes lives for good. We want Christians to be confident in the Bible’s truthfulness and reliability, and we want to change how people talk about it in wider society—inviting people to discover the Bible as a source of wisdom and joy.

As Mission Specialist for Sahel, Middle East and North Africa (MENA), you will play a key role in delivering Bible Society’s international mission during a 12-month maternity cover. Reporting to the Head of Global Relationships, you will act as the primary link between Bible Society and our partner Bible Societies across the Sahel, MENA and Central Asia clusters.

This role is about turning strategy into action—working collaboratively with partners, implementing cluster strategies shaped by the Patmos Initiative research, and managing a portfolio of donor-funded projects that enable meaningful engagement with the Bible in complex and diverse contexts.

Key responsibilities include:

· Leading and delivering cluster strategies across Sahel, MENA and Central Asia

· Managing and monitoring large-scale, donor-funded international projects

· Building strong, trusted relationships with Bible Societies and global partners

· Supporting the contextual application of the Patmos Initiative research

· Collaborating with fundraising colleagues, including supporting donor engagement and visits

· Representing Bible Society in international and cross-organisational settings

About You

You will be a creative, resilient and mission-driven self-starter, with experience of working in complex international contexts and a passion for seeing lives transformed through engagement with the Bible.

You will bring:

· Proven experience of designing, managing and monitoring donor-funded projects in an international setting

· Strong intercultural intelligence and the ability to work sensitively across diverse Christian traditions

· Confidence facilitating strategic conversations with senior leaders

· A heart for mission and a deep understanding of the Bible’s transformative impact

· Excellent communication skills and the ability to build effective partnerships

· Fluency in French or Arabic (desirable)

You will also be able to demonstrate a mature Christian faith, enabling you to work wisely and collaboratively with interconfessional partners across the Sahel, MENA and Central Asia regions.
