ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The Director of Strategic Communications will work closely with a variety of internal teams to promote the work being done on behalf of ATS within the context of graduate theological education in service to persons pursuing roles in ministry, nonprofit leadership, chaplaincy, counseling, teaching and research in theological disciplines, and other purposes. This role, reporting to the Senior Director and COO of ATS, will create, manage, and implement strategies that help advance the value proposition of ATS’s work and roles for its members.
