About The Position

The Live Production Campus Manager leads live production at one campus. This role is the single point of contact for worship, ministry, and live production at the campus, and it owns the technical execution of every service and event there — audio, video, lighting, equipment, and the Serve Team that runs it. It executes the churchwide technical standard rather than setting a separate one, and it holds a dotted line to Central Live Production.

Strong working knowledge of audio, video, and lighting systems, live production workflow, and the engineering required to troubleshoot and keep systems operational
