Job description

Strengthen the Systems That Sustain the Mission

You wake up each morning knowing your work matters. Not just because tasks get completed, but because strong systems create space for transformation, on and off the field.

At 10:12 Sports, we are a Christ-centered sports ministry investing in the lives of young men in Baltimore City. As our Operations Manager, you will play a critical role in strengthening and systematizing our internal operations so our staff can lead with clarity, accountability, and excellence as we grow.

Your role lives at the intersection of structure and stewardship. You will translate vision into workflows, ensure accountability across teams, and build the systems that allow programs to flourish. Some days you’ll refine a process or improve a dashboard. Other days you’ll be leading a staff meeting or addressing a performance gap. In every moment, you’ll model integrity, consistency, and servant leadership.

This role is about execution and clarity. You will bring order where there is friction, accountability where there is drift, and structure that frees our Executive Director to focus on vision, fundraising, and strategic leadership.

If you thrive on building systems, improving performance, and helping teams operate at a higher level, we’d be honored to have you step into this story with us.

Through Christ and Community, 10:12 Sports is a ministry using athletics to provide discipleship and job training opportunities to youth. We empower church partners and local leaders to mentor youth, develop servant leaders, and encourage healthy decision-making through sports and mentorship.

Our core values: Christ, Community, and Coaching guide everything we do. We believe in transformational relationships, consistent presence, and the power of sports as a platform for growth.
