Description

Why This Role Matters

Every piece of communication at Black Mountain Home helps shape how children, donors, and the community experience our mission. This role exists to carry forward a clear, consistent voice across our website, social media, email, print, and campaigns while faithfully implementing the vision and direction of the ministry.

We are looking for someone who is both highly self-motivated and deeply aligned. Someone who takes initiative, exercises good judgment, and understands that in ministry, communications are about trust, dignity, and long-term relationships, not just creativity or clicks.

Duties:

Execute marketing and communications strategies that reflect leadership vision and organizational priorities
Maintain consistent brand voice, tone, and visual identity across all platforms
Create and manage content for website, social media, email, print, and campaigns
Collaborate closely with the VP and Development & Community Relations team
Balance multiple priorities while meeting deadlines with care and accuracy
Handle sensitive information and stories with discretion and respect
Support fundraising, donor stewardship, and community engagement efforts
Adapt calmly to seasonal demands, events, and urgent needs with professionalism
Support and occasionally lead special projects, donor outreach efforts, events and other
Participate actively in staff meetings, devotionals, and team prayer, contributing to a culture of faith, excellence, and accountability.
Who Thrives in This Role

Self-Starter with Discernment - You take initiative and see what needs to be done, but you also know when to pause, ask questions, and align. You don't need constant direction, yet you value leadership input and brand guardrails.
Brand & Voice Steward - You understand that consistency builds trust. You care deeply about tone, clarity, and accuracy, and you use systems to ensure quality across every channel.
Sound Judgment - You make thoughtful decisions, even when information is incomplete. You understand the responsibility that comes with representing a child-serving ministry and protect the organization's reputation at all times.
Work Well With Leadership - You are comfortable working closely with your leaders, handling confidential information, and representing someone else's voice accurately and faithfully.
Relational and Team-Oriented - You communicate clearly and kindly, receive feedback with humility, and contribute to a healthy, supportive team culture.
Steward - You see communications as an act of stewardship. You respect donors, volunteers, and community partners and handle stories with dignity rather than exaggeration.
Christian Called to Ministry - You seek a faith-based environment where prayer, devotion, and Christian values shape the culture and the work.
