Communications & Administrative Specialist

Summary: The Antioch Partners (TAP) equips, sends and supports long-term, cross-cultural missionaries (called “Partners”).

The Communications and Administrative Specialist (CAS) works with TAP staff to develop, manage, and implement communication and administrative tasks. As a vital member of the TAP support staff team, the CAS also provides communications and administrative support to the TAP Partners serving around the world.

TAP is looking for an organized, analytical, creative CAS with strong communication and problem-solving skills to perform office duties, manage events, produce effective communications (written, visual and video), create consistent branding, and other related tasks.

Reports to: TAP Executive Director

Duties and Responsibilities:
• Communications and Administrative Support: Provides communications and administrative support to TAP staff and Partners. Works collaboratively with the TAP community to enhance and develop the mission and ministries of TAP.

• Financial Records: Provides financial record keeping support, as well as general finance and accounting support, in collaboration with the Financial & Administrative Assistant and the Operations Director. These tasks involve QuickBooks, eTapestry, Bloomerang (online giving platform), as well as other apps. The CAS also creates and follows an itemized budget for the annual fundraiser.
• Communications: In consultation with the Executive Director, creates and implements TAP’s communication strategy. This includes ministry communications (emails, letters, e-newsletters, etc.), as well as taking pictures and videos of TAP Partners, staff and events to create promotional materials (this will likely include at least one international trip per year). TAP is eager to utilize more video content, but we do not expect this person to be a professional videographer (post editing knowledge is a plus).

Review: An annual review will be conducted by the TAP Executive Director with input from
other TAP staff members as appropriate.
