Project Manager

Mars Hill Church’s mission is to plant churches and make disciples. Begun in 1996, Mars Hill Church is now widely regarded as one of the most innovative churches in the world; in large part because of the amount of free content we publish. The Media & Communications Department directs the Air War, the most visible ministries of the church that reach the largest audience: websites, audio and video content, publications, blogs, social media, public relations, the media library, etc. This role requires a person with a mature Christian walk and a passion for advancing the vision of 50k people worshiping Jesus together in the coming years as part of Mars Hill. Specifically, the Project Manager must be an experienced professional capable of developing and overseeing all projects of the Media and Communications Branch. The ideal candidate is someone able to handle day-to-day details while maintaining a broader understanding of the Mars Hill movement. We expect a lot from candidates: both a mastery of a challenging and ever-changing field, and an unyielding love for Jesus.
