“The dedication, joy, and heart I see in my colleagues for our work inspires me each day. At IJM I get to live out my passion for service, problem solving, faith, and innovation on the technology team – who knew those could come so perfectly together!”
Christina
Technology Training & Adoption Analyst
“I felt welcomed, with open arms when I joined IJM. There’s a sense of being part of an organization that cares for mind, body, and soul. It’s also an amazing honor to link arms with talented and passionate colleagues that desire to see vulnerable, yet precious people set free from violent oppression.”
Reggie
Global Recruiter
“I was resistant to move to Washington, D.C. to work for IJM, but my husband and I decided to take the leap of faith and God has immensely blessed us through that move. We have both worked for IJM and seen the amazing effort that is happening to rescue vulnerable people all over the world. In my role as Global Director, Workday I get the opportunity to strategize with Finance and HR teams to build and maintain streamlined operational processes through our Enterprise HR Information System.”
