Multimedia & Livestream Specialist

Montevallo Presbyterian Church is looking for a multimedia and livestream specialist to lead or work alongside church volunteers in the execution of the Sunday worship service, which occurs each Sunday at 11am.  This role pays $20/hour with a guaranteed two hours pay for each Sunday worked, as well as the opportunity to work an additional 3 hours/week outside of Sunday worship service.  Additional responsibilities which are also available (at the specialist's choosing) include website content management, social media management, paid digital advertising, worship service content creation (slides and video animations), video content creation/editing, and more.

This job will be well suited for a high school or college student that is interested in a part-time job that only requires Sunday mornings from 10am until service conclusion (usually around noon); additional responsibilities can be completed remotely and with flexibility in timing.  Experience is a plus, but not required.  What is required in lieu of experience is a desire to learn and develop this skill, as we are happy to train this person to be proficient at livestreaming and audio-visual, as well as any additional competencies related to the job that the specialist wishes to acquire and develop.

Those who are interested should email the pastor at sam.hamiltonpoore@montevallopcusa.org.  If you wish to apply, also attach your resume.
