Executive Assistant to the National Director Christian Life Resources
Position Information

• Location: 5503 Beechwood Court, Hartford, WI 53027 (hybrid/flexible)
• Position Type: Full-Time, Exempt
• Reports To: National Director
• Start Date: As soon as possible

About Christian Life Resources
Christian Life Resources is a faith-based ministry dedicated to promoting the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death. Through education, resources, advocacy, and pastoral care, we serve individuals and families facing life-challenging decisions grounded in biblical truth and Christian compassion.

Position Summary
The Executive Assistant serves as the essential right hand to the National Director, turning vision into reality through organizational excellence, strong execution, and loyal support. The role requires understanding the Director’s analytical, historically grounded, strategically complex working style and being able to bring structure to his demanding, multi-faceted workload. This position depends on a close, trust-based partnership, a shared commitment to the mission, and a willingness to invest in understanding the Director’s preferences and working rhythm.
This is a strategically critical role that combines superior systems-thinking with the ability to anticipate needs, exercise sound judgment, maintain strict confidentiality, and take ownership of outcomes. Candidates who prefer professional distance from their executive or who primarily seek their own strategic platform may find this role misaligned with their gifts.

Essential Responsibilities

Executive Support & Strategic Partnership
• Manage the National Director’s professional and personal calendar, protecting time for strategic thinking, research, and deliberation while maintaining organizational flow.
• Prepare briefings, research summaries, and materials for meetings and decisions, including scenario analyses to support strategic planning.

• Translate strategic ideas and initiatives into actionable project plans with timelines, deliverables, resources, and accountability.
• Coordinate complex, multi-phase projects across departments and external partners, identifying obstacles and implementing solutions.
• Monitor progress, flag risks early, and keep initiatives aligned with organizational priorities
and budget implications.

special initiatives requiring detailed planning and reliable execution.

authority, judgment, and confidentiality.

the Director’s voice and the organization’s biblical convictions.
• Maintain consistent communication with key constituents to ensure aligned messaging and priorities.
