Business Administrator – Urban East Africa

The Serge team in Urban East Africa is engaged in many Business for Transformation (B4T) ministries, but business administration is not a core skill and/or passion for anyone on the team. We love the people we serve and are passionate about the foundational skills each business requires (e.g., medical work).

Responsibilites:

• Support the development and operations of the core functions of current and future businesses – finance, accounting, operations, IT, marketing, sales, legal, HR/org design/org behavior
• Support team members in developing business plans for new businesses, or create a new business of your own.
• Develop and train others in business administration
• Support team’s fundraising endeavors to start and maintain businesses

Requirements and Critical Qualities:

• Ability to adapt business knowledge, skills, and abilities to a missions-specific context
• Ability to work well with missionaries, other ex-pats, nationals, and refugees alike
• Enjoys learning about many industries and types of businesses in this context
• Enjoys equipping others
