Internal Communications Manager jobs in New Mexico

St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church

This position serves the congregation through reliable presence, organizing and oversight of groups, and volunteers. This position will also work closely with the Rector, Senior Associate for Community Care, clergy team, Music Minister and Business Administrator to serve as a hub for internal and external church communications.

Operations –Ensure the function of the day-to-day office operations of the church, including preparing worship materials, updating parish website, timely communication, and front desk coverage for the office.

Communication- work with clergy, staff, and volunteers to ensure timely communication and publicity for parish events. This work involves developing our growing web presence, social media, email, and quarterly and weekly publications.

Ministry–The nature of this position, while not a clergy role, is ministry. All people, members, visitors, staff, and contractors will be treated with utmost respect for their humanity.

Who we’re looking for:
This work is well suited for a detail-oriented, tech-conversant applicant with knowledge of community or congregational care. An ideal candidate is comfortable taking a phone call from a grieving family member seeking to make arrangements for their loved one, updating a baptism announcement on our website, using (or learning) church-related vocabulary to make updates to weekly bulletins, meeting with volunteer committees, coordinating a communications schedule and troubleshooting any manner of unexpected problem. While it’s rare to do all of the above on a single day, each of these are a common weekly activity.

Success in this role depends on knowing when to say, “I don’t know,” when to call in extra help to get something done, and when to adapt your approach. Roughly 10 hours/week can easily be taken up by an unexpected occurrence - successful applicants will maintain organization and efficacy even as they troubleshoot the need-of-the-week.
