Digital & Social Media Manager **
**This position is one of our top 10 staffing needs**
Are you inspired by the idea of getting God’s word to the 600 million people who still have little-to-no Scripture in the language they understand best? Does the idea of getting up in the morning and using your creative and technical skills to support such a task put a smile on your face?
If so, we’d like to talk.
You? You’re that rare person with a passion for God’s mission here on earth. You’re well-developed but are always-learning engagement with digital communications (i.e. you get websites, social media, digital publishing, responsive design…). You have excellent writing skills, collaboration instincts, and a self-starter/hands-on mentality.
If that IS you, take a look at the job description … and let us know if you’d like to explore the opportunity to do what you love, and what God has gifted you to do, here with JAARS.
