Partner Engagement Specialist for Christian Ministry

Are you looking for work where every phone call is a chance to bless someone? At Jewish Voice Ministries International, you'll build real relationships with Shalom Partners and other faithful supporters by reaching out to say thank you, to check in, and to help them stay connected to our mission of transforming lives.

As a Partner Engagement Specialist, you'll make outbound calls that build real relationships and spread the word; expressing appreciation, sharing timely giving campaigns and matching opportunities, reconnecting with partners whose giving has slowed down, and helping people find new ways to stay engaged with the ministry. When a conversation reveals someone ready for a deeper relationship, you'll make a warm handoff to our Philanthropy team. This role is based at our Phoenix office with the possibility of moving to a hybrid schedule after your first 90 days.

A DAY IN YOUR LIFE

You will start your day with a list of partners to reach. You will call them and get to catch up, answer any questions they may have, say thank you and mean it. On some calls you will share a matching gift campaign or a special appeal the ministry is running. One partner may want to pray so you will get the blessing of being able to pray with them. Another may mention they want to do more wherein you will make notes and connect them with our Philanthropy team. You will annotate every conversation, close out your calls, and head into a huddle or mission update with the team before calling it a day, knowing you helped a few more partners feel seen and valued.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Make proactive outbound calls to Shalom Partners and other ministry partners to express appreciation and strengthen relationships.

• Accurately document every partner conversation and follow-up in the partner database.

FAITH ALIGNMENT

Jewish Voice Ministries International exists, in the words of Romans 11:26, to see all Israel saved. Every partner conversation, whether you're sharing a giving campaign or simply calling to say thank you, is part of doing what Scripture calls "the work of an evangelist" (2 Timothy 4:5). We are asking you to bring a genuine heart for people and a willingness to walk alongside a team that prays for its partners and treats "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) as more than just a suggestion. If you're energized by relationship-building, comfortable praying with a partner who asks, and ready to represent a ministry with warmth and integrity, you'll feel right at home here.
