Job description

Who We Are

Hallow is on a mission to help people pray. We’re the No. 1 prayer app in the world, with more than 1 billion prayers prayed across 150+ countries. We're building a product that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).

Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church's spirituality with world-class product and content execution. And we need a world-class team to make it happen.

We launched the app in December 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded more than 30 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission‑driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.

We are a startup. We move quickly. We are small but we take big swings. Each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard—but deeply meaningful—work. We'd be honored & humbled if you'd consider joining us.

TL;DR: You'll be the primary relationship builder and point of contact for parish partners using Hallow. You will implement, activate, and sustain partnerships, helping parishes build communities of daily prayer, while driving renewals and expansion.

What You'll Do

• Introduce parishes to Hallow: Travel to parishes around the Northeast Region of US to give presentations on prayer, introduce parishioners to Hallow, and help them join their parish group.
• Relationship-building: Reach out to, and build relationships with parishes in order to incorporate them into the parish program and work hand-in-hand with the team to bring Hallow to their parishioners
• Manage parish relationships: Design and implement business processes to support the parish program initiative, for example, managing CRM workflows to ensure that users are moving along the experience appropriately and drafting marketing materials for the team that are used in the program

What You'll Love

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of our favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.”
• Ownership: When a company is this small, every employee is a core team member with an outsized impact. You'll be the face of Hallow as you own the relationship with our parish partners.
• Growth: From day 1, you’ll be a part of the startup journey. We're growing quickly, and we’ll need your help to create a world‑class team and get individuals praying in more countries around the world.
• Flexibility/Travel: While we operate as a remote-first company, you'll typically support the parishes in your region of the United States. Supporting our parish partners requires about 20%-30% of time traveling to and leading in-person events.
• Comp: We pay competitive market rates in terms of equity, cash, & benefits.

What We're Looking For

• Passion: First and foremost, we’re looking for someone excited and passionate about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun to actually care about what you’re working on!
• Experience: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including presentations in front of large audiences; knowledge of the Catholic faith and comfort in discussing theology in groups; aptitude in managing CRM workflows and contacts; experience in a prior role focused on relationship‑building or sales is a plus, as is the ability to communicate effectively in additional languages.
• Grit & Detail‑Oriented: We are a fast‑growing startup, so we’re looking for comfort working in ambiguity. Attention to detail and having a process‑oriented approach to solving problems is critical, as is the ability to learn quickly and think on your feet.
