Business Development

Lorica Ministries –

Founded in July of 2022 by Dr. Douglas Rumford. Lorica Ministries equips individuals, leaders, and congregations to experience spiritual vitality and intentional living through practical resources and dynamic support in curriculum, coaching, consulting, cohorts, and certification in spiritual coaching and direction.

About the Role

This will be the founding member of the business development/marketing team and the CEO's right-hand person. While this is an individual contributor role, it could quickly morph into taking on more leadership responsibilities. This person will own the go-to-market function. This is an excellent fit for someone who thrives at the intersection of creative storytelling, data-driven growth, and strategic business development. You'll own our social media presence across platforms while proactively identifying, nurturing, and closing partnerships that drive revenue and brand expansion.

This is not a traditional social media role. You'll wear two hats:

1. Performance Marketer – Build and scale high-engagement, conversion-focused social campaigns.

2. Business Developer – Turn audience insights into partnership opportunities, research new partnership opportunities and engage with prospects to introduce Lorica Ministries.
