Do you love bringing structure, clarity, and consistency to complex information? Do you take pride in producing high-quality documents that support teams around the world? MAF is looking for an International Document Controller to help ensure our manuals, policies, and procedures meet the highest standards and support our life-saving aviation work globally.
Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is an organisation using light aircraft to deliver help, hope and healing in Jesus’ name in developing countries. For more than 75 years, MAF has been transporting patients, relief workers, produce and medical supplies to the world’s remotest regions and places of deepest human need – places where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.
Make a tangible impact globally by ensuring our teams have the information they need to save lives
Be part of a values-driven, supportive international team
Grow your professional expertise while contributing to a meaningful mission
**NOTE: Applicants must have the legal right to work in either Australia. Successful applicants will be subject to pre-employment background checks including a National Criminal History check. Acceptance of and adherence to MAF’s purpose, vision and values is an essential condition of employment.**
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of MAF’s document management system, producing, editing, and formatting controlled documents, including manuals, policies, and forms, using a range of specialist editing software.
You’ll manage the document change process, issue revisions, and maintain our intranet-based repositories to ensure teams have access to the latest, most accurate information.
You’ll also provide vital support to document controllers across the organisation—liaising with technical authors, helping new controllers get up to speed, and stepping in for locations without a dedicated controller. Quality control will be key: you’ll proofread, cross-reference, and check formats to ensure every document is precise and compliant.
Beyond documents, you’ll assist the QSS Services team with Jira ticketing, stakeholder meetings, training events, and other administrative tasks. You’ll also have opportunities to provide guidance, troubleshoot system issues, and help maintain global standards for MAF programmes.
