About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization and our mission is sharing the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world's greatest injustices.
We do this in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children.
We are seeking faithful, compassionate, thoughtful problem-solvers who are able to think deeply and carefully about how we can share Christ's love by fighting injustice.
Love Justice International is a certified Best Christian Workplace in 2021 - 2024.
Program and Position Overview: To ensure excellence among our field offices in Asia and Africa, Love Justice has developed more than 45 "core processes" to implement in each office to monitor performance and compliance.
These processes span a variety of different areas, such as budgeting and financial reporting, administration and human resources, data collection and compliance, security audit and investigations, shelter care, and legal cases.
Many of these core processes involve the use of spreadsheets (varying in complexity) to track different pieces of data.
The Spreadsheet Specialist will work to both maintain and improve key spreadsheets while also working with stakeholders to create new spreadsheets as required.

Qualifications:

Knowledge, understanding, and agreement with how the Christian Gospel ministers to "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40) and guides us in our mission
Agreement with our Core Value "Be the Kingdom" (both in the execution of our mission and in our personal lives)
Acknowledgement of our Statement of Faith
A strong commitment to social justice and advocacy on behalf of vulnerable populations
Minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science, statistics, mathematics, or related field
Critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
