Project Manager, Media
Are you the person who can't help but bring order to creative chaos — the one who looks at a dozen moving projects and instinctively maps the path to done? Do you love turning a stakeholder's rough request into a clear plan and watching work flow smoothly from idea to delivery? Are you looking to put that gift to work in a Christian environment alongside like-minded believers who share your values?
Ligonier Ministries is seeking a sharp, organized Project Manager to join our Media team. In this role, you'll be the engine that keeps Media's work moving — intaking and scoping requests from across the ministry, planning them out in Confluence, and managing their execution in Wrike. You'll build timelines, balance workload, anticipate risks before they become problems, and keep producers and stakeholders aligned so that every project lands on time and on target.
Why this role matters: For more than 50 years, Ligonier has worked to proclaim the holiness of God to as many people as possible. The Media team's broadcasts, podcasts, and video carry that teaching to a global audience — and your behind-the-scenes excellence is what ensures it's delivered with precision, stewardship, and care. A background in media, broadcast, or production is preferred.

- Tracks and balances team workload, surfacing capacity concerns to departmental leadership
- Reports on departmental performance and project status for leadership review
- Ensures that all team members have what they need to perform their tasks well
- Administers departmental project management systems, including Confluence and Wrike
- Helps facilitate meetings and other projects as assigned
