Job Description

St. Stephen's Church is a dynamic, innovative, and diverse parish, one of the largest in the Episcopal Church with six Sunday services and an average weekly in-person worship attendance of 780, with 350 more joining online.

We seek a Director of Communications to weave together the narrative of our shared life and ministry, and to tell the story of what God is doing here. The director works as part of a senior leadership team, reporting to the rector, and working closely with the vicar (senior associate/chief of staff), the communications associate/videographer, and other staff.

They should demonstrate skill in writing and editing, digital media production, and project and content management.

Candidates should be able to work creatively and independently, while also collaborating with a team to share in meaningful work in a complex and dynamic organization.
