Events & Engagement Coordinator

San Antonio Marriage Initiative (SAMI) | Part-Time | Remote/Hybrid (San Antonio area preferred) | 20-25 hrs/week | $23/hr

About This Role

This is a part-time role with the potential to grow. Our work moves in natural rhythms throughout the year - some seasons are lighter, while others, particularly around key events, will call for more focused time and energy. This individual will attend weekly team meetings in person and be present at key events we host or are connected to in the San Antonio area. 

We are looking for someone who is organized, relational, and mission-driven to join our team as our Events & Engagement Coordinator. The heart of this role is coordinating and executing events that connect, equip, and encourage -  from intimate pastor roundtables to large-scale marriage gatherings. You will also step into established systems for online events, ensuring every moving part lands with care and excellence.

You will work closely with our team to make sure every event, whether local or national, reflects the warmth, intentionality, and excellence that represents SAMI well.

Project Support (as capacity allows)
