For over 80 years, MAF has used aviation to serve some of the world’s most isolated communities. In Bougainville, you’ll help lead a unique programme that combines aviation, technology, and Christian mission to strengthen remote communities and create lasting impact.
This is far more than a management role. As General Manager, you will provide strategic leadership for a growing humanitarian programme while building strong partnerships, developing local leaders, and investing in national team members to support long-term sustainability and succession.
We are seeking an exceptional leader to provide strategic and operational oversight of MAF’s aviation and technology-based programme in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Working at the intersection of aviation, community development, government engagement, and Christian ministry, you will help connect remote communities with healthcare, education, church ministries, development initiatives, and essential services that would otherwise be difficult to access.
In Bougainville, aviation is often far more than transport. It is a lifeline.
Working closely with government leaders, community stakeholders, churches, development partners, and MAF’s aviation teams, you will help ensure safe, sustainable, and transformational services that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
From strengthening strategic partnerships and overseeing programme operations to supporting team wellbeing and ensuring sound stewardship of resources, your leadership will help shape the future of MAF’s work in Bougainville.
Responsibilities:
You will provide overall leadership, vision, and direction for MAF’s Bougainville operations, guiding strategy, operations, partnerships, and team development.
Your role will include:
Leading the delivery of MAF’s aviation and technology programme in Bougainville
Qualifications:
We’re seeking a strategic, relational, and mission-driven leader who can operate confidently in a complex cross-cultural environment.
Essential
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aviation, Public Administration, International Development, or a related field
