<h3><strong>Our Mission</strong></h3><div><br>Most people in the world have no experience of deep and abiding joy.<br><br></div><div>Even though it is something we all desperately long for, the assurance that true happiness can be known — fully and forever — is a hope that billions of people live every day without. This is a tragedy.<br><br></div><div>Desiring God is on a mission to change that.<br><br></div><div>We aim to help people everywhere embrace a profound truth that changes everything about life and eternity:<br><br></div><div>You were created for something greater than yourself. You were formed for something awesome and magnificent.<br><br></div><div>You were made to know glory — God’s glory. And the deepest longings of the human heart can be fully satisfied by pursuing that glory. In fact, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.<br><br></div><div>We call this truth <a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/topics/christian-hedonism">Christian Hedonism</a>. And declaring it to the world is why we exist.</div><div><br></div>

<h3><strong>YOUR ROLE</strong></h3><div><br></div><div>You would be the first person dedicated to building the data and automation backbone of Desiring God's Donor Partnership team — a brand-new role at the intersection of technical systems builder and warm, theologically grounded communicator. Until now, donor lifecycle intelligence and automated communications have lived across a mix of manual processes and ad-hoc workflows inside Pipedrive, limiting how consistently the team could surface the right moment to reach out and the right words to say. You would change that by architecting the systems that make Desiring God's donor relationships feel more attentive and more human at scale, not less.<br><br></div><div>Your primary focus would be building and maintaining the data infrastructure and automated communication workflows that let the Donor Partnership team spend their limited relational capacity where it matters most. On the data side, that means creating dashboards in Sigma, maintaining data hygiene across systems, and surfacing specific opportunities for partner growth, retention, or re-engagement. On the systems side, it means configuring the triggers, segments, suppression rules, and timing logic that turn those insights into a reliable, always-on layer of relational touchpoints. And because those touchpoints are only as good as their words, you would also write the warm, mission-aligned copy that carries Desiring God's voice through every automated email.<br><br></div><div>This is a new role — there's no existing process to inherit, which means real ownership over how this function gets built and meaningful room to shape it as it matures. You would report to the Director of Donor Partnership and work closely with the rest of the team and Desiring God’s Data Scientist and Director of Spreading to translate donor data into both smart systems and genuine words of gratitude.<br><br></div><div><br></div><h3><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></h3><div><br></div><div><strong>Donor Data &amp; Lifecycle Intelligence (50%): </strong>Build and maintain dashboards in Sigma, monitor and maintain data hygiene between Hub and other systems, and identify specific opportunities for partner growth, retention, or re-engagement — so no meaningful partner moment goes unnoticed and the team is always working from current, data-informed intelligence.<br><br></div><div><strong>Automation Architecture &amp; Systems (40%): </strong>Design, build, and maintain automated donor communication workflows by configuring journey logic in Customer.io — triggers, segments, suppression rules, and timing tied to the lifecycle and growth moments identified through Hub data — creating a scalable, reliable infrastructure of relational touchpoints that frees the team for high-value personal engagement.<br><br></div><div><strong>Donor Communication Copywriting (10%): </strong>Write and maintain the donor-facing email content within automated workflows, drafting warm, mission-aligned messages that reflect Desiring God's voice, theological convictions, and genuine gratitude for our partners' support.<br><br></div><div><br></div><h3><strong>WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR</strong></h3><div><br></div><h3>You Are</h3><div><br></div><ul><li>3–5 years of experience with CRM or marketing automation platforms (Virtuous, Salesforce, HubSpot, Customer.io, or similar).</li><li>Demonstrated ability to build automated, multi-step communication workflows — triggers, segmentation, suppression logic, and timing.</li><li>Comfort with mining data to surface actionable insight — you can build a dashboard and also know what question it should answer.</li><li>Experience with a BI or reporting tool (Sigma, Looker, Tableau, or similar) is a plus.</li><li>Strong writing skills — able to shift fluidly between technical system logic and warm, donor-facing prose.</li><li>Detail-oriented with data hygiene — comfortable owning the unglamorous work of keeping systems clean and in sync.</li><li>Excellent written and verbal communication.</li><li>Experience in a nonprofit, ministry, or donor-relations context is a plus.<br><br></li></ul><h3>You Are</h3><ul><li>A builder who's equally at home architecting a workflow and drafting the email that runs through it — you don't need a handoff between the technical and the relational.</li><li>A translator: you take raw donor data and turn it into a clear, specific opportunity someone on the team can act on.</li><li>Systems-minded — you think in triggers, segments, and edge cases, and you build things that keep working when you're not the one watching them.</li><li>A careful writer who can sound like Desiring God — warm, theologically grounded, and genuinely grateful — even when the message is automated.</li><li>Someone who treats data hygiene and quiet maintenance as real craftsmanship, not just a means to the interesting work.</li><li>A Christian genuinely moved by the mission: you see donor systems not as back-office plumbing but as a way to help real relationships between Desiring God and its partners feel seen and known.<br><br></li></ul><div><br></div><h3><strong>The Team</strong></h3><div><br></div><div>You would report to the Director of Donor Partnership and sit inside the Donor Partnership team — the group responsible for Desiring God's relationships with financial partners. This is a new role: there is no existing process or system to inherit, so you would have real ownership over how this function gets built, with meaningful room to shape the role, the tooling, and the operating rhythm as it matures. You'd work closely with the Director on workflow priorities and measurement, and coordinate as needed with Engineering and other teams on data integrations between Hub and other systems.<br><br></div><div><br></div><h3><strong>Culture</strong></h3><div><br></div><ul><li>You like building things that quietly run well — reliable systems more than one-off wins.</li><li><a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/about/core-values#humble-authenticity">Humble authenticity</a> in heart posture, working with excellence but with others on the team in humility.</li><li>Excited to dig into data and translate what you find into action, not just reports.</li><li>The ability to orient around plans and deadlines to complete work on schedule.</li><li>Able to receive feedback and critique from a team and prioritize what to incorporate.</li><li>Treasuring and embodying the truths of a <a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/topics/christian-hedonism">Christian Hedonist</a>.<br><br></li></ul><div><br></div><h3><strong>REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROLE</strong></h3><div><br></div><ul><li>Ability to adhere to our <a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/about/affirmation-of-faith">affirmation of faith</a>.</li><li>Able to legally work in the United States without sponsorship.</li><li>Desiring God is a hybrid workplace, and this role is open to remote talent.<br><br></li></ul>

<h3>Senior UI/UX Designer</h3><div><br></div><div><br></div><h3>YOUR ROLE</h3><div>You would be the first dedicated UX hire at Desiring God, helping build a premium, cross-platform product experience across web, iOS, Android, and smart TV. Until now, UX responsibilities have mostly sat across graphic/print-oriented roles and ad-hoc implementation decisions — creating friction in requirements clarity, interaction consistency, and delivery quality. You would change that by establishing a durable UX practice that serves Product, Engineering, and Creative together.<br><br>Your primary focus would be leading end-to-end UX work for priority initiatives from discovery through post-launch iteration: translating stakeholder intent into user journeys, interaction concepts, and implementation-ready guidance, then partnering with engineering to make sure what ships is both feasible and high-quality. Most of this work would be new for Desiring God — evolving shared patterns for navigation, states, and core flows across platforms rather than inheriting an existing system — so a builder's mindset and comfort with ambiguity matter as much as design craft.<br><br>This role supports a bigger vision: helping people move from unknown to known, and from known to deeper partnership, through better content discovery, smoother continuity across devices, and clearer navigation. You would work in a product-shared model — aligning with Product leadership on roadmap intent and outcomes, partnering with Engineering on tradeoffs and sequencing, and working with Creative on brand expression and visual quality — with real room to shape how the role and its operating agreements evolve as the practice matures.<br><br><br></div><h3>Responsibilities</h3><ul><li><strong>Discovery &amp; Requirements (30%)</strong><br>Lead discovery and requirements definition for high-impact product journeys, framing ambiguous problems into clear options with tradeoffs so that priorities are grounded in user impact and organizational leverage.</li><li><strong>Design Execution (30%)</strong><br>Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and implementation-ready guidance, evolving shared UX patterns for navigation, states, and core flows so that experiences stay coherent across web and mobile.</li><li><strong>Cross-Functional Collaboration &amp; QA (25%)</strong><br>Partner with engineering on feasibility and quality, drive iterative design cycles using feedback, analytics, and qualitative input, and support design QA and post-launch refinements so that shipped work holds up in the real world.</li><li><strong>Documentation &amp; Capability Building (15%)</strong><br>Build practical UX documentation and reusable templates over time, and raise UX capability across the org through collaboration, coaching, and clear communication.</li></ul><div><br></div><h3>WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR</h3><div><br></div><h3>You Bring</h3><ul><li>Strong UX/product design experience in shipped digital products, typically 5+ years.</li><li>Demonstrated ability to lead UX work from discovery through release.</li><li>Strong systems thinking across multi-screen or multi-platform experiences.</li><li>Strong stakeholder facilitation and requirements synthesis skills.</li><li>Demonstrated success collaborating deeply with engineering teams.</li><li>Proficiency with modern UX tooling for wireframing, prototyping, and specification.</li><li>Excellent written and verbal communication.</li><li>Experience designing content-heavy or media-rich products is a plus.</li><li>Experience with mobile and TV interaction paradigms is a plus.</li><li>Familiarity with design systems and component-driven delivery is a plus.</li></ul><div><br></div><h3>You Are</h3><ul><li>A senior UX practitioner who can lead work from discovery through release and hold multi-platform experiences in your head at once, designing patterns that scale across web, mobile, and TV rather than solving one screen at a time.</li><li>A clear thinker under ambiguity: you frame vague problems into concrete options with tradeoffs, and you connect your design decisions to measurable product and ministry outcomes rather than treating polish as the goal in itself.</li><li>A strong facilitator and collaborator: you build trust with engineers, lead stakeholders through discovery without needing a fixed process handed to you, and navigate disagreement without losing collaborative footing.</li><li>Someone who balances speed and quality, right-sizing your artifacts to the stage of work rather than over- or under-building for the moment.</li><li>A Christian genuinely moved by the mission: you see UX not just as craft but as a way to help people encounter Desiring God's content and take real next steps toward it.</li></ul><div><br></div><h3>The Team</h3><div>You would sit inside Product, shared across Creative and Engineering — a first-of-its-kind role at Desiring God, which means real ownership over how UX gets done here and meaningful room to shape the role as it matures.

Decision boundaries and the operating model itself are expected to be clarified and adjusted together as the first year unfolds.</div><div><br></div><h3>Culture</h3><ul><li>You like to do creative explorations and iterate on ideas.</li><li>Humble authenticity in heart posture, working with excellence but with others on the team in humility.</li><li>Excited to share ideas, collaborate across teams and disciplines, and bring concepts to life across platforms.</li><li>The ability to orient around plans and deadlines to complete work on schedule.</li><li>Able to receive feedback and critique from a team and prioritize what to incorporate.</li><li>Treasuring and embodying the truths of a<a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/about"> Christian Hedonist</a>. &nbsp;<br><br></li></ul><div><br></div><h3>REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROLE</h3><ul><li>Ability to adhere to our <a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/about/affirmation-of-faith">affirmation of faith</a>.&nbsp;</li><li>Able to legally work in the United States without sponsorship.&nbsp;</li><li>Desiring God is a hybrid workplace, and this role is open to remote talent.</li></ul><div><br></div>

<h3>Senior Email Marketing Specialist</h3><div><br></div><div><br></div><h3>YOUR ROLE</h3><div>You would own the email marketing engine at Desiring God — building, running, and improving the systems that connect hundreds of thousands of readers, listeners, and ministry partners with content that matters. Day to day, that means planning and executing campaigns end-to-end in Customer.io: segmentation logic, assembly, deployment, and performance monitoring. Pull open-rate data from a devotional send, flag what underperformed, adjust the subject line strategy before the next one goes out.<br><br>You would also design and maintain the automated lifecycle flows that meet people at every stage — from a first-time subscriber's welcome sequence to the long journey of deepening engagement as a ministry partner. Most of these would be new builds for Desiring God, so a builder's mindset is welcome. You would own re-engagement campaigns, content-series drips, and trigger-based sends, and you'd be the team's source of truth on performance: deliverability, list growth, unsubscribe trends, revenue attribution, and list hygiene that protects sender reputation.<br><br>You would work closely with editorial and content teams to turn ministry priorities into campaign briefs — coordinating send schedules and adapting messaging across audience buckets (free subscribers, app users, ministry partners) for book launches, conference registrations, and giving seasons.
