Job Description

OVERVIEW Better Together works to end the root causes of poverty, dependency, divorce, and child abuse by leveraging the power of the local church to provide struggling families with supportive relationships and meaningful work.

Once properly supported, families can achieve independence, stay together, and thrive. Better Jobs, a ministry of Better Together, is designed to be delivered through local churches to help their community find hope and dignity through employment.

Better Jobs trains, equips and supports churches in establishing, maintaining, and growing this employment ministry in their local community. Better Together is looking for a Senior Project Manager who will work hand-in-hand with churches and with the project management team to train, support and equip churches from start to finish as they start their jobs ministry. The ideal candidate should have experience in leadership as well as project management and enjoy working in an agile environment.

They should have demonstrated leadership, communication, organization and networking skills.

He or she should be a self-starter who thrives when challenged and is comfortable working remotely, have a demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity, analyze programs and find creative solutions.

CULTURE AND FIT The people who consistently succeed at Better Together are those whose actions and behavior reflect our five core values.

If you adhere to these values and answer "yes" to each of these questions, you may be a fit.

Owner's Mindset: You are invested in the outcomes of our mission.

Are you a self-starter who is able to take initiative in order to complete a task?

Do you often seek opportunities for professional growth?

Choosing Gratitude: There are many things in life that can make us upset.

Every day we have a choice to either be negative or give thanks.

Do you often go out of your way to help others?

Have you written a thank-you card in the last 30 days?

Are you a positive person who is more focused on opportunities instead of obstacles?

Love Others: We aim to love others like Christ loves us.

Our hope is that our lives would be filled and overflowing with love, so that we can make a difference in this world.

Do people often say you are a good listener?

Do you make decisions based on what's best for others over yourself?

Do you often find yourself looking for ways to make others feel empowered, important and appreciated?

Partnership-Oriented: Internal and external relationships are not transactional.

That starts with our team members and the perspective that we need the rest of the team to succeed in order to win personally.

Are you comfortable creating your own structure for work, such as setting work hours, your own priorities, and creating clarity and a work plan from a broad goal?

Do you tend to be the one who initiates conversations with colleagues, rather than waiting for them to come to you?

The Sky is the Limit: We have a big vision at Better Together.

No one on our team is counting hours or widgets.

We are here to get results, and sometimes that will require going the extra mile or doing a job that isn't technically ours.

Do you often set yourself audacious goals?

Do you wholeheartedly agree with our principles, which include that people's lives are made better through work and that we can and will end the foster care crisis?

The vast majority of those who don't get hired (or don't last) at Better Together lack a fit with these values.

Be prepared to have very candid conversations about them in our interview process.
