This role serves as the creative steward and primary story decider for the initiative.


The Director of Storytelling is responsible for shaping and guarding the overall story world of the project—ensuring that the 250 stories produced over five years are theologically faithful, narratively compelling, culturally credible, and oriented toward spiritual and vocational transformation. The Director of Storytelling functions as an executive producer/story producer hybrid: accountable for narrative vision, story selection, quality standards, and coherence across media formats, while partnering closely with a Production Manager who leads execution, timelines, and logistics.

  • CREATIVE DIRECTION & PRODUCTION PARTNERSHIP (20%)
  • STORYTELLING TRAINING & CAPACITY BUILDING (20%)
  • STRATEGIC COLLABORATION, GRANT & INITIATIVE LEADERSHIP (10%)


QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in storytelling, media, communications, or a related field, and at least 5 years of relevant experience OR 10+ years of relevant professional experience in storytelling, creative leadership, media production, or editorial direction.


KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

  • Demonstrated excellence in evaluating and shaping stories across media formats.
  • Strong narrative judgment and creative discernment.
  • Experience working with filmmakers, producers, writers, and creative agencies.
  • Ability to integrate theological depth with everyday vocational contexts.
  • Strong relational and collaboration skills.
  • Comfort making difficult decisions about quality and fit.
  • Proficiency with common digital collaboration and project management tools.
  • Willingness to thoughtfully use AI tools where appropriate.
