About The Position

At The Global Orphan Project, our mission is to break the orphan cycle by addressing its root causes—relational and economic—strengthening families before they break. We believe the family is the essential cell of civilization. When families fracture, children pay the highest price, often entering destructive downstream systems such as street life, prison, and human trafficking. When our ministry began, we sought to respond to this crisis by building physical orphanages around the world. But along the way, we discovered something that changed our trajectory: up to 90% of children living in orphanages globally have at least one living parent who could care for them if they had the means. Many were placed in orphanages not because of abuse or abandonment, but because their parents—often single mothers—felt unable to provide for them. We soon recognized the same reality in our own nation. In the richest country the world has ever known, the leading reason children enter foster care is not abuse—it’s neglect, most often tied to poverty. This conviction drives us today: to come alongside families, churches, and communities, offering hope and tangible solutions so that children can grow up where they belong—within the love and stability of a family. Colleagues would describe you as a detail-oriented, mission-driven collaborator with strong organization and communication skills. You are gifted at optimizing and managing clear internal processes to facilitate excellent relationships with external public and private stakeholders. You enjoy digging into the data and then sharing it with stakeholders to demonstrate the value of their partnership. You truly read the fine print and know how much context matters when sharing information. You can quickly and accurately compile information and present it with excellence. You are comfortable being behind the scenes but also excel at directly interacting with stakeholders when necessary. You deeply desire to see government, churches, and communities working together as partners in care—unlocking sustainable funding streams, creating systemic change, and multiplying Kingdom impact so that every child and family in crisis has access to the support they need. In this full-time role as the Compliance & Reporting Specialist, you will own the contract and grant reporting and compliance requirements for our public and private partnerships with government agencies, foundations, and donors. You will also support procurement efforts as we unlock new public-private funding streams and partners for CarePortal. The role is critical to ensuring excellent stewardship of our partners’ trust and resources as CarePortal continues to grow nationally. This role is a member of GO Project’s Advancement team and reports to the Director of Grants and Foundations.
