In 1944, Heifer International’s founder, Dan West, began outlining a simple but groundbreaking plan to tackle hunger around the world. West, a farmer from the Midwest and Church of the Brethren member, had recently returned from feeding weary refugees during volunteer service in the Spanish Civil War. 

He had seen firsthand that giving people food was a short-term solution, whereas providing them with animals offered a steady supply of nutritious food for an entire family. His philosophy still inspires Heifer’s work today. Partnering with farmers across a range of different livestock and crops, we create unique solutions to local challenges. 

 

Today, Heifer International has operations in 19 countries around the world, working alongside local farmers, business owners and their communities, as they mobilize and envision their futures. Together, we build inclusive, resilient economies, so communities can develop effective ways to end global hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. 

 

To date, we have supported more than 42 million farming families across Africa, Asia and the Americas and in the past five years alone. We have worked alongside 2.7 million families to close the living income gap or set them on a path to doing so. Between now and 2030, we will support an additional 10 million people to reach a living income by scaling up our signature programs. To achieve this, Heifer International relies on its passionate, committed, and highly skilled staff. 

 

Heifer International is amid a significant organizational transformation—shifting from a traditional hierarchical structure toward an agile, adaptive, farmer-focused, regenerative network organization guided by a living systems mindset. This shift is redefining how programs are designed, how decisions are made, and how teams collaborate across a globally distributed organization. 

 

The Transformation Facilitation & Engagement Coordinator is a core member of the Transformation, Strategy & Communication (TSC) team, supporting the execution and coordination of transformation work across the organization. This role enables transformation work led by TSC – including strategy coherence, change enablement, and organization learning. The role focuses on keeping initiatives, workstreams, learning activities visible, connected, and progressing. It strengthens execution by ensuring transformation work remains coordinated, accessible and actionable as it moves across the organization. 

 

This is a role that lives at the intersection of coordination and facilitation. You prepare the agenda, open the session, keep the conversation on track, manage the time, ensure participation, and close with clear next steps. You create the conditions for groups to do their best collective work — not by shaping what they explore, but by ensuring they can explore it effectively. Between sessions, you track decisions, follow through on action items, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.  The position includes core administrative responsibilities at its core, while also building and maintaining working relationships across teams — ensuring clear communications and reliably follow-through. 

 

You are organized, dependable, and confident in facilitating group work. You can draft a clear agenda, guide a conversation, and close with clarity on decisions and next steps. You are a strong communicator — able to write clear updates, capture what matters in notes, and communicate effectively across teams and cultures. You follow through consistently and are comfortable working in an enabling role, supporting others to do their best work. You are comfortable in ambiguity. Plans shift, priorities evolve, and the work doesn't always look the same from one week to the next. You adapt without losing your organizational thread.
