Director of Storytelling: Executive Producer

The Director of Storytelling is a senior creative leadership role for the CityGate Storytelling Initiative, a five‑year effort to identify, produce, and disseminate compelling stories of Christian faithfulness at work across the United States.

This role serves as the creative steward and primary story decider for the initiative. The Director of Storytelling is responsible for shaping and guarding the overall story world of the project—ensuring that the 250 stories produced over five years are theologically faithful, narratively compelling, culturally credible, and oriented toward spiritual and vocational transformation.

The Director of Storytelling functions as an executive producer/story producer hybrid: accountable for narrative vision, story selection, quality standards, and coherence across media formats, while partnering closely with a Production Manager who leads execution, timelines, and logistics.
