Job description
Do you believe in the transformative power of God’s Word? At Open the Bible , we aim to put the gospel within the grasp of millions through all forms of modern media! We are building a movement of people who love to open the Bible themselves and who are equipped to open the Bible with others.
Summary:
The Content Operations Owner will serve as the link between content and marketing — the person who knows our content intimately and owns the Contentful publishing pipeline end to end. This is a standalone role, not a task split across the team, that will see across silos — content, development, marketing, and promotional partners.
Responsibilities:
Own the operational lifecycle of Open the Bible content - from publishing request through quality assurance, scheduling, publication, and ongoing maintenance
Publish across content types including but not limited to; the Daily Broadcast, Daily Devotional, Articles, Monthly Offer, Store Products, Sermons, Radio Stations, Landing Pages, Courses, Campaign Pages, Product Updates, and more.
Manage the publishing calendar by scheduling recurring and one-off content, flag conflicts early, and handling publish/unpublish timing and locale checks.
Manage and own content integrity such as metadata/taxonomy, locale completeness, scheduled publish/unpublish dates, media/assets, etc.
Be the single point of contact and own "where's this content?" and "when's it live?".
Run approvals and quality assurance by sending preview links for sign-off when needed, and catching broken links, missing fields, and formatting issues before anything goes live.
Identify problems and propose improvements (you’ll own Contentful operationally, but not architecturally).
Improve the process by identifying weak spots/friction in content workflows and fix it — or propose how to fix it. (Ex: better request formats, clearer status visibility, less manual back-and-forth.)
Identify where Contentful, custom UIs, or integrations could do more of the work, and bring recommendations to the development team.
Work with custom UIs built on Contentful for things like devotionals, campaigns, and audio upload.
What This Role Isn’t:
Writing original copy or substantive editing — that stays with our content contributors
Making brand or creative decisions about content direction
Changing content models, integrations, or webhooks — that's owned by our development team
The Ideal Candidate:
Pays close attention to detail and strong organizational skills — especially around metadata and QA
Is willing to learn new systems such as Contentful to maintain our content structure, follow set steps carefully, and stay organized with access others depend on.
Is a clear communicator who can chase down assets and approvals without letting things stall — you can track down files and approvals from multiple people and keep things moving.
Takes initiative beyond your task list — you're comfortable suggesting a better way to do something.
1–3+ years doing content operations, editorial coordination, publishing, or digital production work
Experience with Contentful or another CMS; experience managing user permissions/access is a plus
Comfortable using project trackers like Asana, Google Drive, Notion, etc.
Ability to work in a hybrid environment
Full alignment with Open the Bible’s mission and Statement of Faith
