Teams at Mercy Ships

Leads Mercy Ships’ fleet-wide technical services team, prioritizing specialist support across vessel maintenance, dry dockings, repairs, modifications, and asset lifecycle planning. Reviews technical solutions for safety, regulatory compliance, maintainability, and operational suitability; monitors maritime regulations and classification requirements; manages major equipment replacement cases; and develops technical personnel. The role requires extensive maritime engineering leadership, international travel, and collaboration with shipyards, vendors, vessel teams, classification societies, and flag states.

The Regional Development Manager cultivates and solicits major gifts from high-net-worth individuals, family foundations, and corporations across Southern California. Responsibilities include managing a 125–150-prospect caseload, developing donor strategies, conducting meetings, researching prospects, maintaining donor records, preparing reports and budgets, and stewarding gifts. The role is remote but requires residence in Southern California, frequent travel, independent work, collaboration with leadership and volunteers, and alignment with Mercy Ships’ Christian mission and values.
