Folkestone, Kent

The Company

Mission Aviation Fellowship UK (MAF) is a Christian organisation that, for over 75 years, has been flying light aircraft over remote locations around the world. Our efforts have enabled more than 2,000 aid, development and mission organisations to provide emergency relief, long-term development and Christian hope to remote communities.

We utilise the power of aviation and technology to reach isolated people in need around the globe as we believe nothing should stop people from receiving the essentials of life no matter how remote they are.

By helping to link communities isolated from today’s ‘connected world’, we are ensuring that the severity of medical emergencies, natural disasters, conflict and famine are reduced and the light of God now shines brightly there.

We are now seeking a Head of Marketing and Supporter Engagement to join our team and lead the implementation of our innovative marketing and donor acquisition strategy.

The Benefits

- Salary of £52,000 - £56,000 per annum
- Non-contributory pension of 10% of salary on joining
- 22 days’ holiday plus eight public holidays and days between Christmas and New Year

If you are a marketing professional looking to gain senior marketing and strategy experience, this is the perfect opportunity to join our organisation and grow your career.

The support of our donors means we can continue to fly medical care and clean water to isolated communities. As you increase our support base, you will have the fulfilment of knowing that your work increases the number of lives we can help.

Working with us could be the adventure of a lifetime, so, if you have the marketing expertise to grow our base and share our values, we want to hear from you!
