Do you enjoy using your administrative gifts to help others?
Your gifts and talents could be used to support Bible translation in the
Solomon Islands.
The Solomon Islands, an archipelago about 1000 miles east of
the northern tip of Australia is home to about 600,000 people from about 65
different language groups.
The New Testament has been published in 18 languages and 5
language groups have full Bibles.
The Operations Manager works closely with the Director and
other staff to help provide administrative leadership for the smooth operation
of the office, group houses and vehicles and communicate with the members of
the group. Good relationships with
members, administration, officials and visitors are a high value as we strive
for working together in harmony.
The job includes a variety of duties and no two days are the
same. An important part of the job is helping to provide support for language
teams whose ministry is based in a village setting. This includes helping with
ticket purchases, sending supplies to personnel in the provinces by ship or air
and regular communication with these teams via email and two-way radio.
We are blessed with Solomon Islands employees who work
alongside us. The Operations Manager works closely with the employees and needs
to feel comfortable working in this cross-cultural situation. The employees are
most comfortable speaking Solomon Islands Pijin, so being willing to learn this
language is a must.
At times the job may require supervision of building
maintenance and building projects, which may involve outside workers as well.
Ideally, we'd love to have someone commit to this role for
2+ years but if you have 4+ months to give, let's talk!
