Do you have a heart for God’s mission in Latin America, a head for strategy implementation and a passion to see local and regional mission movements catalysed? Are you ready to help co-create mission activities in a number of edge contexts within Latin America? Are you good at influencing and leading people? If so, then you might be just the right person to take on the Mission Manager – Latin America role with Church Mission Society (CMS).

Like many mission organisations, in recent years CMS has gone through a process of decentralisation and localisation, resulting in the establishment of CMS-Africa and Asia-CMS within their respective regions. In addition, while CMS once worked primarily through placing people from the West in cross-cultural contexts, we’ve broadened our approach to include supporting local mission organisations and their mission personnel, partnership grant-making and network-building. We particularly want to do this in edge contexts around the world: those places where Jesus’ name is rarely heard or where the church struggles to be.

Further details can be found in the job description and person specification available to download on the Church Mission Society website.

This post has an occupational requirement for the post holder to be a practising and committed Christian, committed to the aims, values and the ethos statement of CMS. In addition, they must be able and willing to travel regionally and internationally around 80 days per annum. An enhanced DBS / criminal records check is also required for this post.
