About You
You love Jesus. You love people. You love bringing order to complexity.
You are highly detail-oriented and take pride in clean, accurate and well-structured data. You think in systems and processes, not just tasks. You understand that strong data governance is not about control for its own sake, but about enabling clarity, trust and better decision making across an organization.
You are naturally curious and ask questions like:
- “Where did this data come from?”
- “Who owns this?”
- “Why does this field exist?”
- “How do we ensure this stays accurate over time?”
You are both analytical and practical. You can define standards and policies, but you also know how to implement them in real systems like Salesforce. You are comfortable working with technical teams while also supporting non-technical users with clarity and patience.
You value consistency, documentation and accountability. You don't just fix data issues, you solve the root cause so they don't happen again.
At the end of the day, you are organized, proactive and mission driven. Most importantly, you know this isn't just your career. It's a chance to steward information that helps drive real impact. A chance to serve others. And a chance to help bring the Gospel to students across the country.

Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS. Tens of thousands of public school students attend LifeWise Bible classes each week.
