new job openings at MH opened in the last month, at least according to indeed . com

We've been on a semi-sabbatical here at Wenatchee The Hatchet but it's not for a lack of interest in writing.  There's a few things simmering on back burners but we can get readers up to speed on a few interesting job openings that have popped up at the local brand.  We can take them roughly in reverse chronological order.

... The program you’ll run has a vast audience, and includes both employee-facing content and customer-facing content. The channels include two blogs; newsletters; and an employee-facing intranet (coming soon). And the content you’ll lead ranges from blog posts, news stories from our churches and events, marketing/promotional content, internal communications, infographics, etc.

Your editorial talent and leadership is of paramount importance, but a experience in overseeing the day-to-day workflow of a digital editorial process is required, including the development and management of content in all formats from assigning through editing, copyediting, fact-checking, optimization, QA, publishing and measurement. In short, you’ve worked in a dynamic and integrated content publishing environment. You understand the best practices of maximizing content across platforms and audiences, and you’re capable of identifying opportunities for leveraging content across multiple channels— including print, tablet, newsletter, social and web. And you’re a born diplomat, comfortable and adept at building and strengthening client relationships.

An employee-facing intranet sounds like something they might want a Software Development Engineer for ... maybe?  That's quite a list of things to do. 

Then there's this job
Human Resources Manager-Compensation and Benefitshttp://newton.newtonsoftware.com/career/JobIntroduction.action?id=8ad8db0b446c596b014470916b6c140d&source=Indeed&source=Indeed

It's just for compensation and benefits, apparently. Perhaps it's a sign of how large their human resources branch has become that there needs to be a position filled that just deals with compensation and benefits?  Moving along, this might be a job that's been open for months.

We noted that this job opened up in a post from November 10, 2013
http://wenatcheethehatchet.blogspot.com/2013/11/mars-hill-is-looking-for-software.html

It looks like one David Anderson is Lead Software Engineer for Mars Hill Church these days:
http://www.linkedin.com/in/dmanders
Lead Software Engineer
Mars Hill Church 
Nonprofit; 51-200 employees; Religious Institutions industry
February 2012 – Present (2 years 2 months) Greater Seattle Area

So the Software Development Engineer may have been filled and vacated or it may have been vacant since November 2013.  According to a search in indeed.com the job of the SDE got posted 4 days ago.  But this job may be tough to fill seeing as it involves designing a next generation social media type system from the ground up.  Given the Connect Accounts and the existing role of The City it may be a new platform is intended to integrate all these existing systems or to replace them.  It remains to be seen. 

Another job that got posted recently, it seems, has to do with product development:

Another position that has a recent job listing on indeed.com is:

Colin Day had this role up until October 2013

Someone who had the job of Creative Director at Mars Hill Church from January 2005 to August 2012 is Jesse Bryan:

Bryan was interviewed here.  For a video interview including Jesse Bryan before the launch of MH Portland or the OC you can find a link to it here. Bryan explained how films for individual campuses would help people get to know various campuses and feel they have a part in the story of the church (campus and network seem to be implied).

So that's quite a few jobs that, at least according to indeed.com, have had job listings posted in the last 30 days.  But as you may have seen from the various links some of these jobs have been vacant, dormant, or not quickly filled for some time.  There may not have been an executive pastor at MH U-District since about May 2013.
