I recently received a notice of some job opportunities at Logos Bible Software (now called Faithlife) in their Mobile Ed department.
If you are a seminary student or graduate and don’t know about Logos, you are missing out on a fantastic tool and set of digital resources. Their Mobile Ed is compiling quite a collection of online courses on Bible, theology, and other related topics.
I recorded a few courses with them last summer (Evil/Suffering and Eschatology). They have an impressive system and are producing very high quality materials. The majority of professors involved, from what I’ve noticed, tilt to the conservative side of American evangelicalism–though there are some exceptions.
In any case, here are the current openings:
1. Mobile Ed Marketer — This person should have a background in theology and 4 years of experience in the marketing field. The focus of this position is managing our business to customer channels such as our web site, social media campaigns, traditional advertising, and conference promotions.
2. Instructional Designer – This person should have theological training and some teaching experience. The primary role for this person is helping instructors craft their material into a structure that will work in our studio environment and then work with instructors in studio as they film courses.
3. Screencast Manager & Instructional Designer – This person should have theological training and teaching experience and understand how to use many features of Logos software. This person will have two roles. The first is managing our screencast contractors who produce software training videos for each course and the other is working as a traditional Mobile Ed Instructor Designer (working with 12 instructors on average each year.
4. Instructional Media Specialist – This person should have a background in theology and some familiarity with video editing (e.g., final cut pro). This person will be adding onscreen text, graphics and editing the raw video produced in studio to help the instructors convey their teaching most effectively.
Logos / Faithlife has been a fast-growing company for a number of years–and they are putting big energy in their mobile education initiative. It would be a fun place to work–based on my observation and what I hear from current employees. Plus, it’s located in Bellingham, Washington, where good coffee and good beer flows like water.
They are looking to complete their search in a few weeks, so if you’re interested, time is of the essence.
