Many say they want to change the world.
We’re actually doing it.
Newman Ministry exists to ensure every young person has a clear pathway into authentic Christian community—especially during the most vulnerable transition of life: the move from high school to college. We do this through three interconnected organizations:
- Newman Connection connects students to Catholic campus ministry before they arrive on campus.
- Called is our SaaS discipleship platform—a relational operating system that helps ministry leaders track, shepherd, and grow their communities.
- Newman Student Housing builds faith-centered living communities near universities.
We’re also leading the Faith Forward Movement—a national initiative rallying parishes, schools, and families to keep Catholic students connected through the college transition.
Our North Star: communities where every person is Needed and Known.
Marketing Operations Manager
Remote · Full-Time · Reports to Director of Marketing
You’ll build and run the systems that turn our marketing strategy into measurable growth. This role owns marketing automation, campaign execution, lead-generation infrastructure, and CRM governance across everything we do—Called, Newman Connection, Faith Forward, and beyond.
The Director of Marketing sets the direction—audiences, messaging, campaign priorities. You make it real. You’re the one who builds the HubSpot workflows, launches the landing pages, optimizes the conversion paths, and tells the team what’s actually working. You don’t just set up systems—you think about who they serve and whether they’re delivering.

Within your first 6–12 months, you will:
- Build a marketing automation engine in HubSpot that nurtures leads from first touch through conversion—for both our SaaS platform and nonprofit programs.
- Establish a single source of truth for CRM data, giving marketing, sales, outreach, and development teams clean, reliable data they can act on.
- Execute and optimize campaigns designed by the Director of Marketing that drive Called platform adoption, grow our donor base, and expand Faith Forward’s national reach.
- Create dashboards and reporting that show exactly what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do about it.
