Qualifications Required of This Position

Values

Must be willing to embrace Living on the Edge’s values as a Christian ministry. The bar is high for LOTE employees to act as ministry representatives as articulated in our Covenant Community policy. The person in this position must embrace:

• Live it out: Spiritually mature individual involved in a Christian church and committed to becoming a mature, authentic disciple of Jesus Christ (see Romans 12).
• Own Your Stuff: High desire for excellence in serving others and capability in maintaining systems; humble and willing to admit mistakes and own errors of judgment or decisions regardless of consequences. We are a no-excuse, no-finger-pointing organization.
• Think Team: Team-oriented, not a solo worker. Must have an interest and ability to integrate into a fast-paced, collaborative atmosphere.
• Everybody Matters & Everything Belongs to God: We serve other people, not ourselves, and we are stewards of what God has given us. Must have an "it’s not about me" attitude.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree required; a degree in Business, Finance, or a comparable field of study is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience managing budgets, financial tracking, or contract/MOU administration.
