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.

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.

  • Proficiency with common digital collaboration and project management tools.
