Production Director

Why We Love This Opportunity

This is an amazing opportunity to build and lead a great team of both staff and volunteers, with great tools to reach those far from God with the Gospel in an amazing metropolitan area. There are adventures and experiences available from world class dining and entertainment to major market sports teams to hiking and exploring nature all across the Twin Cities. It’s a truly gorgeous community with something for everyone. The city of St. Paul is the capital of Minnesota with a greater metro population just shy of 3,000,000 residents.

Crossroads is a large, Multi-site Church of 3,000 with campuses in the East Metro area of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St Paul). The church is prioritizing and investing greatly into the weekend experience, making it integral to the overall success of the organization. The right next Production Director will be walking into a team ready to go the next level.

 Church Description

The next Production Director will be a member of the Creative Team and will hold major influence with the highest levels of leadership within the church while reporting directly to the newly hired Senior Director of Weekends, Leah Gunderson. The existing Production Department staff includes Producers at each campus, who look after the AVL and service execution for the midweek and weekend services. The right candidate for the Production Director role will be a thought leader in all production disciplines, but especially strong in all things Audio!

The tools that the next Production Director will inherit are solid. The style of the weekend experience and the organizational brand is timeless, with strategic upgrades made at each location. There is a strong value in creating weekend experiences where God’s Word is taught in a way that is practical and relevant and that the worship culture is engaging, authentic and dynamic. The right next leader will need to be an established, winning player and coach. Someone experienced in the live production world from AVL design and integration, to weekend and event execution, to broadcast and prepackaged content. That will be the win.
