Role & Responsibilities
Medair is seeking a leader who can transform and improve the way we communicate and raise funds. We urgently need to mature our ability to raise awareness of the needs of our world’s most vulnerable people, and we need to mature in how we raise private and foundation funding on behalf of the people in need. We are now therefore looking for a gifted marketing, fundraising, and relationship development leader.
The Engagement Director will explore and experiment with the best ways of using social media, crowdfunding, apps, online communities, and other digital engagement tools to serve our goal to build more connection with the lives of people in need. We now need to find our voice, share our distinctive approach, and encourage a greater number of people to partner with our work around the world.
Medair
Medair’s mission is to bring help and hope to the suffering of this world. Embodying the compassion of Jesus Christ, we seek to serve the world’s most vulnerable people, including those in “forgotten” crises where there are few media reports to bring attention and transparency.
Medair saves lives in emergencies and then stays to help people recover from crisis with dignity. Our teams do whatever it takes to bring assistance where it is needed most, regardless of religion, race or nationality. We work side by side with communities and partners to leave a lasting impact.
