Lead this unique Christian agency, working for a just and compassionate world to drive impact, empower communities, and champion justice globally.

The organisation

Tearfund is a Christian relief and development organisation responding to global poverty and injustice. Its commitment to creating positive and lasting change is reflected in its work to alleviate poverty, empower marginalised communities, and promote justice on a global scale.

In partnership with Christian agencies across Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the First Peoples of Australia, Tearfund enables people to overcome poverty by equipping them to lead their own development initiatives. Tearfund also inspires, connects and equips Australian Christians to give, learn, live, act and pray for a more just and compassionate world, and works with coalitions to amplify advocacy and address systemic issues.

The role

The CEO of Tearfund Australia, currently Matthew Maury, has led the organisation for 15 years and is set to step down at the end of January 2025. The Board are now looking for their next CEO who will continue Matthew’s faithful Christian service and lead an engaged and committed team to continue to challenge inequality and build sustainable communities globally.
