Operations, Finance & Compliance Manager

About Us

GFA World is a Christian missions order committed to serving the "least of these" in Asia and Africa, bringing the love of Jesus to communities where He is not yet known. Today, nearly 3 billion people have little to no opportunity to ever hear the name of Jesus. As a small, close-knit family, we are dedicated to excellence, prayer, and fulfilling the Great Commission through the faithful stewardship of our resources.

The Role: Why It Matters

This role is the operational heartbeat of our UK office. Every donation, prayer, and ministry activity relies on strong systems and faithful stewardship behind the scenes. You will help ensure GFA World remains financially sound, legally compliant, and a healthy place for staff to serve. You will steward the resources entrusted to us by our partners, support the staff who carry out the ministry, and maintain the systems that allow our work to grow sustainably.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys creating and improving systems, spotting gaps, and ensuring important things do not fall through the cracks.
