An ideal candidate will be a servant leader who seeks to grow Greater Columbus Right to Life and its mission to protect innocent human life from the moment of conception until natural death.

Demonstrable pro-life conviction is required, as are excellent writing skills, the ability to multi-task, and attention to detail. Previous leadership and management experience are strongly preferred, but we will consider early and mid-career applicants with strong qualifications. Applicants will be required to pass a BCII background check and complete Protecting God's Children or similar curriculum.
Greater Columbus Right to Life is a mid-sized regional pro-life organization directly serving the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical area, which includes Franklin, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway, Fairfield, and Licking Counties, as well as surrounding counties that do not have an established pro-life organization. Flagship programs of the organization include the annual Roe Remembrance, Sidewalk Counseling, a Speaker's Bureau, and Faithful at the End of Life.

While Greater Columbus Right to Life does not offer a traditional benefits package, a QSERHA and technology reimbursement program are available. This is a salaried position with a flexible schedule, but does require some evenings and weekends. Work environment includes office, field, event, and some (mostly regional) travel. This position is budgeted for total compensation in the range of $58,750 to $63,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Our organization maintains a total salary budget with limited flexibility to recognize exceptional candidates. Actual compensation may vary based on qualifications, experience, and organizational budget availability.
