OCCUPATIONAL SUMMARY:

We believe the Church should be the most creative place on the planet. With that in mind, we hire people with a high level of vision as well as technical skills. The Executive Creative Administrator (ECA) has overall responsibility to provide leadership and direction for all creative needs across the church including the Broadcast Media, Marketing and Music departments. The ECA is hyper-focused on digital impact, creatively connecting with those who don’t know Jesus. The ECA works closely with ministry leaders and department heads to capture vision and communicate that vision with their creative staff (illustrators, photographers, designers, writers) to execute a strategy, concept, or idea. The ECA assists in setting the vision and strategy for a brand, campaign, or project. They are involved in creating a campaign that has an instant, positive, and compelling impact on how ministries and the Gospel are being presented. They will lead the team in formulating design concepts and presentation approaches and work together with the design team engaging in artwork, layout design, and copywriting for visual communications media such as magazines, books, newspapers, internet, direct mailings, television, digital signage, and packaging. The ECA must see the importance of building and growing relationships outside of their department (especially with ministry leaders and department heads) as this is vital to the success of the creative process and final outcome of all creative projects.
