Director of Operations

Step Into a Calling, Not Just a Role

You wake up each morning knowing your work matters—not just for a schedule or a spreadsheet, but because your leadership makes space for transformation—on and off the field.

At 10:12 Sports, we’re more than a sports ministry. We’re a Christ-centered community investing in the lives of young men. As our Director of Operations, you’ll be at the heart of that mission: stewarding systems, supporting people, and shaping the infrastructure needed for both daily faithfulness and long-term growth. You’ll stabilize and strengthen our current operations while also helping to lay the foundation for our next chapter—including property development, expanded programming for young adults, and deeper organizational impact.

Your role lives at the intersection of relationships and structure. You’ll help build the systems that allow our staff and volunteers to lead with excellence—while also walking alongside them as a coach, mentor, and teammate. Some days, you’ll be deep in process design. Other days, you’ll be encouraging a coordinator as they prepare for a critical program milestone. In every moment, you’ll be modeling the same servant leadership, humility, and integrity we hope to pass on to every young man in our programs.

This isn’t just about execution—it’s about presence. Showing up consistently. Investing deeply. Leading with vision, and building with care. If you’re someone who thrives in the tension of big-picture strategy and everyday faithfulness—someone who believes that systems can be spiritual, and leadership is a form of love—we’d be honored to have you step into this story with us.
