Favor International is a faith-based ministry that has spent more than twenty years carrying the Gospel into some of the hardest places on earth. We work in Chad, South Sudan, and Uganda, and our work is entirely indigenous-led. Every pastor, teacher, and community leader in our network is African. We go where others don’t.

Our work spans evangelism and discipleship, education, community development, and economic empowerment. Behind every number is a real person whose life has changed. Telling those stories well is how more people come alongside the work.

We are growing our U.S. team and looking for an experienced IT Manager to lead our technology operations and drive the digital transformation that will amplify our mission's impact. From AI-powered integrations and KPI dashboards to cybersecurity and CRM management, this role is an opportunity to build smart, innovative systems that serve a greater purpose. If you're a mission-driven technology leader who thrives at the intersection of faith and innovation, we want to hear from you.

The IT Manager will serve as the primary technology leader, responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive IT strategy, overseeing all systems and infrastructure, and driving digital transformation across the organization. This role involves collaborating with leadership and cross-functional teams to build scalable, practical solutions — from AI-powered integrations and KPI dashboards to cybersecurity and CRM management — that enhance operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

We're looking for a mission-driven technology leader who thrives at the intersection of faith and innovation and is ready to build smart, impactful systems that amplify our mission's reach.

Favor International is a Christian ministry, and this work is Gospel work. We are looking for a committed follower of Jesus who calls him Lord and Savior, holds to Christian values, and lives them out. For the right person, the mission is the reason for the job, not a condition they tolerate to get it.
