Seeking a Director of Marketing

Founded in 2001, Jesus Institute is a non-profit organization operating websites to assist curious people of all backgrounds to learn about Jesus. In 2006, over one million unique visitors utilized the extensive information available about Jesus on the Jesus Institute reference websites. Almost half of these visitors learned about the person of Jesus in Chinese.

While Jesus Institute enjoys strong partnership relationships with organizations like Ambassadors for Christ, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Campus Crusade for Christ, Luis Palau Association, and many others, it is not affiliated with any particular Christian denomination or church hierarchy.

Jesus Institute is prayerfully led by eight board members, including the founder and president, Vip Patel; Larry Langdon, a former Internal Revenue Service commissioner and Fuller Theological Seminary trustee; Ken Perez, chair of John Stott Ministries and a member of the national board of InterVarsity; and Allen Phipps, a former partner of Boston Consulting Group. A successful entrepreneur and internet pioneer, Vip Patel previously founded and served as president/CEO of eHealth (EHTH) a publicly traded company.

In 2006, Jesus Institute released www.JesusCentral.com, an English site that greatly expands the opportunity for questioners, seekers, and Christians alike to take their study of Jesus to a whole new level. At www.JesusCentral.com, users are able to form groups, take courses like "Jesus 101," or interact with others utilizing profiles and messaging. Truly an international resource, users of www.JesusCentral.com come from every corner of the English-speaking world.

The Jesus Institute strategic plan calls for releasing www.JesusCentral.com in Chinese by the end of 2007 and focusing a significant portion of the current budget on marketing and traffic generation for the English site. Hence, the board and president seek an outstanding marketing professional to join the team in this newly created position.

Jesus Institute is located in Encinitas, California.
