Director of Growth Marketing Operations

About This Role

About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You are both analytical and strategic. You are highly organized, detail\-oriented, and execution\-focused. Your reporting and insights shape decisions.

You are naturally curious about: why people take action, where systems break down and how small improvements compound over time. You see data as a tool for clarity, not complexity. You are able to translate numbers into actionable directions that others can understand and execute.

You are comfortable working across teams, defining requirements for systems and campaigns, and ensuring that data drives—not follows—strategy. You take ownership of outcomes and are energized by seeing campaigns come to life and perform.

Additional Details

Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little\-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS. Tens of thousands of public school students attend LifeWise Bible classes each week.

We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the church in America to reach the next generation. But we want to change that and we need your help!
