🏢 About Justice Revival

Justice Revival is a unique nonprofit that integrates Christian faith with human rights advocacy, led by author and scholar Allyson McKinney Timm. Working here means contributing to a mission that challenges faith communities to actively support gender equality and human dignity, making it an inspiring place for those passionate about social justice and religious engagement.

About This Role

This role is pivotal in the lead-up to the January 2027 publication of Allyson McKinney Timm's book, focusing on executing and expanding outreach to secure speaking engagements and author events. You'll manage a pipeline of prospects, turning them into confirmed bookings that amplify the book's message and the organization's impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'd also coordinate logistics for confirmed events, such as scheduling, travel, and materials, while tracking progress in a CRM system. Regular check-ins with the author and team ensure alignment on strategy and priorities.

  • Highly organized with strong pipeline management skills, able to track multiple leads and follow-ups systematically.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of crafting persuasive outreach messages and building relationships.
  • Familiarity with faith communities, Christian social ethics, or human rights advocacy is a plus, but not required.
