The Opportunity

He’s The Solution is a Christ-centered non‑profit organization dedicated to transforming lives and building strong communities through faith‑driven outreach, education, and connection.

What You’ll Do

• Creative Vision & Brand System
  • Own and evolve the visual identity and annual theme; translate vision into a cohesive, scalable design system across all channels and venues.
  • Partner with Executive, Production, and Worship teams to craft spiritually aligned stage looks, screen content, and service moments (walk‑ins, transitions, lower thirds, lyric/scripture backgrounds).
  • Build creative guidelines, templates, and usage standards for internal teams and vendors.
• Content, Merch & Media Production
  • Design event/conference graphics (main + sub‑themes), stage screens, countdowns, lower thirds, slide templates, web banners, email headers, social covers/thumbnails, ads, and on‑site signage.
  • Own apparel and product design from concept to print‑ready art (tees, hoodies, hats, stickers, journals, lanyards, mugs, posters). Deliver tech packs, colorways, size runs, and print specs; coordinate with vendors for samples, QA, and on‑time delivery.
  • Create trailers/teasers, testimonies, speaker features, social shorts, paid ad edits, and in‑event packages (openers, walk‑ins, transitions, bumpers, scripture/motion backgrounds, recap reels).
  • Deliver multi‑format masters and cut‑downs (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), captioned and platform‑optimized; manage b‑roll, music licensing, and archival.
• AI & Emerging Tech Leadership
  • Implement ethical, generative‑AI workflows to boost speed and quality (image/text effects, look‑dev, captioning/transcription, content repurposing).
  • Set guardrails for licensing, attribution, and ministry‑appropriate usage; encourage content provenance best practices.
  • Pilot AI assistants for meeting notes, creative reviews, and automated task creation in project tools.
• Live Experience, Screens & Environments
  • Coordinate LED/visual playback with presentation systems (e.g., ProPresenter‑style).
  • Collaborate with Broadcast/IMAG for switch, mix, and record (e.g., ATEM‑style) to ensure the livestream complements the in‑room experience.
  • Build operator playbooks and run‑of‑show graphics cues; support rehearsals and show‑lock deadlines.
• Digital, Social & Campaigns
  • Own the asset slate for web, email, ads, reels/shorts, social graphics, motion templates, and merch artwork; maintain a reusable library of templates and motion toolkits.
  • Partner with Marketing to A/B test thumbnails/hooks/headlines and iterate based on performance (CTR/CPV/CPA/ROAS).
  • Maintain an organized DAM (naming, versioning, rights) for rapid reuse across future cities.
• Team Leadership & Operations
  • Build and mentor a blended team (staff, freelancers, volunteers). Establish clear briefs, review cadences, and QA standards.
  • Own creative calendars, sprint plans, and deliverable trackers; manage vendor relationships (photo/video crews, LED providers, printers) and steward the creative budget.
• Representative Technology & AI Stack
  • Presentation & Lyrics: Multi‑screen presentation/lyrics system with stage display, lower thirds, NDI support.
  • Broadcast/Streaming: Hardware/software switcher (keying/macros), resilient multi‑destination streaming.
  • Playback/LED: Media servers or VJ software for LED walls and immersive looks.
  • Worship/Audio Sync: Tracks/cues platform for synchronized service flow.
  • Creative & AI: Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere) plus generative‑AI tools for image/video/captions.
  • Transcription/Notes: AI note‑taking and summary tools integrated with project management.
  • Ministry Ops: Service planning and volunteer scheduling platform aligned to creative deadlines.
