The Conference of Baptist Ministers in Massachusetts (CBMM) is seeking someone to become our Intentional Interim Executive Director for the next year.

Like all interim positions, it will be one where duties may change as the Interim works with the Board and with American Baptist pastors in Massachusetts to determine what our needs are in days to come.

Our initial summary of the position is that the Intentional Interim Executive Director will:

1. Be in conversation with American Baptist pastors, chaplains, and CBMM members throughout Massachusetts. To be a pastor to the pastors.

2. Complete basic administrative responsibilities: pay the bills, keep things running, identify systems, issues or projects that need attention, continue communications, work with our contracted part-time admin person on the website and email communications.

3. Provide regular written reports on the needs of clergy in MA with a final recommendation to the board on how CBMM can live out our mission (promoting the union and usefulness of clergy since 1829) in the days going forward.

We are anticipating this will be a flexible, part-time position, with an expected 60 hours per month. We would start with a one year duration, with an annual salary range of $35,000-$40,000.

The candidate must be ordained clergy with familiarity with ABC-USA, have basic administrative and computer communication skills, and reside in or near MA.

Please email Rev. Jana Yeaton, board president at [email protected] with a resume and cover letter describing your experience and ability to meet the job components identified above.
