The Opportunity
Are you a data-driven strategist looking to bridge the gap between your technical skills and a higher purpose? This isn’t just a part-time job; it’s a high-stakes laboratory where you will use industry-leading tools to solve complex, real-world problems.

As a Mission Finding Analyst, you are the engine behind our global digital reach. This position is central to the missionaries' role to 'Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.' You won’t just be "running reports"—you will be optimizing sophisticated advertising funnels and using data to ensure that every missionary companionship across the globe has the opportunity to teach. This is elite-level experience that will prepare you for a career at the world’s top tech and consulting firms.

• Strategic Leadership: You aren’t just a cog in the machine; you are a consultant, synthesizing complex data into clear strategic recommendations for Church leadership and product managers.
