POSITION AVAILABLE
SENIOR CONTENT CREATOR: Marketing & Storytelling
International Scripture Ministries is seeking a talented writer who can do two things exceptionally well: write sharp, high-converting marketing copy for email, social, and campaigns, and step into longer-form storytelling for articles, donor features, and ministry impact stories. This is not two half-jobs; it’s one writer who can move fluidly between a punchy subject line and a 1,500-word feature, always in a consistent, compelling brand voice.
The realistic mix of this role is roughly 70% short-form marketing content (email, social, campaigns, web copy) and 30% long-form storytelling (articles, donor/impact features, and select long-form editorial pieces).
As a technology-forward ministry, ISM encourages the thoughtful use of emerging tools, including AI, while maintaining high standards for originality, accuracy, theological integrity, and brand voice.
The ideal candidate is a gifted storyteller and a disciplined marketer: someone who understands what makes a donor open an email and what makes a reader finish an article. They build trust and inspire action across every platform: websites, email campaigns, social media, print materials, and long-form features, all while maintaining one consistent brand voice throughout.
REPORTS TO
Vice President of Communications
LOCATION
Hybrid (located in the DFW area) with intermittent travel required for executive meetings, ministry initiatives, partner engagement, operational reviews, conferences, and strategic planning sessions.
WORK EXPECTATIONS AND EXEMPT STATUS
This position is classified as full-time, salaried, exempt under applicable federal and state wage and hour laws. As an exempt role, performance is evaluated based on outcomes, stewardship of responsibilities, and the successful execution of objectives, rather than hours worked.
While this role generally aligns with ISM’s standard business hours, it may require occasional evening work or additional time to meet deadlines, particularly during publication launches, ministry initiatives, or time-sensitive communications. These expectations are inherent in a professional exempt position.
ISM values healthy rhythms and sustainability. Occasional extended hours are balanced with reasonable flexibility in scheduling, coordinated with the Vice President, to support long-term effectiveness and well-being.
This role requires the regular exercise of independent judgment, prioritization, discretion, and decision-making authority, particularly in managing workflows, systems, and execution strategies aligned with ministry goals.

Cross-Functional
- Collaborate with the Communications team and other departments to deliver high-quality, high-impact content on time, across both short- and long-form formats.
- Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, drafting, and iteration, applying human review to every deliverable for accuracy, originality, theological soundness, and brand voice.
- Ensure all content reflects exceptional grammar, accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail, per AP style or ISM’s editorial standards.
- Maintain a single, consistent brand voice regardless of format or channel.
- Support communication initiatives that strengthen engagement with donors, ministry partners, and the global Church.

- Experience working within brand guidelines and maintaining a consistent voice across diverse communication platforms.
