JOB SUMMARY
The Short-Term Missions (STM) Senior Manager at MAP International is responsible for driving the operational success, financial growth, and strategic expansion of MAP's short-term mission program to advance the MAP 2030 Vision.

As a divisional leader within the Partnership & Innovation Team, this role collaborates closely with fellow PI leadership to guide, align, and manage the full team to overall success.
