Location: TBD (with Regional and international travel, including during Home Ministry Assignment periods)

Reports to: Vice President of International Ministries

Purpose: Are you called to lead at a pivotal moment of transformation and opportunity? Reach Beyond is seeking a Transitional Regional Director to guide our North Africa / Middle East (NAME) Region through a season of discernment, renewal, and strategic growth. This entrepreneurial leadership role offers a unique opportunity to evaluate and strengthen existing ministries, explore new opportunities, and build vision and strategy for long-term impact among the unreached.

Under the guidance of the Vice President of International Ministries, you will provide strategic, spiritual, and operational oversight during a defined 18–36 month transition period. This includes ensuring ministry continuity, excellent personnel care, evaluation of current work and partnerships, and smooth preparation for a permanent Regional Director (the transitional leader may apply for the full-time role).

All work will align fully with Reach Beyond’s mission: to serve as the voice and hands of Jesus by proclaiming and demonstrating the Good News among the unreached, bringing hope, healing, and transformation through integrated media (Voice) and healthcare/community development (Hands). At the end of the transition, the role will be handed over to the full-time Regional Director.
