Educate Magis is looking for an experienced Global Community Director to join the team.

Educate Magis is a relatively new and innovative internet-based initiative with the Mission of nurturing a vibrant online community to connect educators from the 2,000+ Jesuit/Ignatian schools around the world. The Educate Magis online community platform was launched in April 2015. Educate Magis continues to develop and update in response to real needs of the worldwide Jesuit Education community, and today has a global community of more than 16,000 members, from more than 72 different countries. In 2021 Father General Arturo Sosa SJ decided to assume Educate Magis as a work of the Society of Jesus under his authority (and therefore a work of the Church). Father General has appointed the Secretary for Education (Secondary and Pre-secondary) of the Society of Jesus as his Delegate for Educate Magis.

As Global Community Director you will work with, coordinate, manage, and oversee the very committed full-time Galway, Ireland-based team.  You will be working with members of the worldwide Jesuit Education community (lay and Jesuit), particularly with the Provincial and Regional Jesuit Education Delegates. You will be the Director of the Work, and you will report to the Secretary for Education of the Society of Jesus (i.e., the Jesuits).

The Setting: Day-to-day communications will be in English with the Galway Educate Magis team but also in Spanish and/or French with members of the global community. The work will be a mix of some international travel (maybe 3 to 6 trips a year) and office-based work in an office in Galway City, Ireland. The successful candidate will need to be located in or near Galway City, Ireland.

The Role: This exciting role will give you the responsibility to:

1. Work with the Global Community Associate Director to coordinate day-to-day Strategy, Planning, Management and Leadership of Educate Magis.
2. Work with the Global Community Associate Director to Build Relationships and Represent Educate Magis with the Global Network.
3. Work with the Global Community Associate Director to Manage the Annual Planning Cycle.
4. Assume responsibility for the Annual Company Secretary / Director Responsibilities.
5. Assume responsibility for Finance, Budget and Fund Raising.

The Opportunity: Educate Magis is offering the new Global Community Director the opportunity to:

• be actively involved in nurturing a much-needed worldwide community.
• make a real difference in the world of young people.
• be empowered and encouraged to achieve great results.
• be in community with the leaders of Jesuit Education and Ignatian Spirituality.
• occasionally travel to different parts of the world where the Jesuit Education network operates.

Work Permit: The successful candidate will have to have the work permit to work in Ireland or we will have to feel comfortable that an application for such a work permit to the Irish Government will be successful.

Compensation: The salary will be competitive and in the range of a school Principal in Ireland.

Timelines and Deadlines: We aim to have the new Global Community Director start in August / September 2024 (or earlier if available). The deadline for applications is Friday April 5th 2024. Candidates who apply earlier will be considered earlier.
