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. This role partners with the marketing team to plan and create visual content aligned with the organization’s brand strategy. Responsibilities include managing and evolving visual language, designing materials for both digital and print platforms, and leading web updates from concept to final publication. This position requires strong web design experience and works closely with both the Marketing (MarCom) and Advancement teams to shape the visual direction, user experience, and overall brand consistency, using independent creative judgment from initial concept through final execution across all projects.
