Job 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.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in marketing, communications, or related fields
• Strong writing and editing skills with attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• Comfort working across digital and print platforms
• Alignment with the mission and values of Black Mountain Home

Benefits include

100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance for employees.

Up to 10% employer 401K contributions after 1 year of service

Paid time off and holidays.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• Adept at managing deadlines and multiple projects without losing sight of the details
• Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to create compelling donor communications
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, donor CRM systems (we use Raiser's Edge)
• 5+ years of development/advancement office experience, particularly in areas of donor communication and stewardship, annual fund, and direct mail management
• Energized by mission-driven work and being a servant-leader
• Maintain a personal, active relationship with Jesus Christ and demonstrate a strong Christian witness in all interactions
