Full Job Description
About the Role

The Ministry Growth Partner exists to help churches maximize the value they receive from their partnership with Pushpay.

This role owns the commercial growth strategy across an assigned portfolio of existing customers, partnering closely with Customer Success, Strategic Sales, Marketing, Product, and Executive Leadership to identify opportunities that help ministries accomplish more through technology.

Unlike a traditional Account Manager, the Ministry Growth Partner is not responsible for renewals or support. Instead, they serve as a long-term strategic advisor-guiding churches through platform adoption, identifying future ministry initiatives, and introducing additional Pushpay solutions when they create meaningful value.

Success in this role is measured by Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and expansion revenue. This is an individual-contributer, quota carrying position designed for a commercial builder who excels at consultative closing with an established customer base.

Benefits and Compensation
  • 100% employer-paid premiums for Medical HDHP Plan, Dental, and Vision for employee
  • 70% employer-paid premiums for Medical PPO Plan for employees, and Medical, Dental, and Vision for dependents
  • 401K match
  • Hybrid work model - 3 days in the office / 2 days remote each week
  • 12 paid Company Holidays
  • 2 paid Volunteer Time Off days
  • 15 days PTO to start, increases with tenure and seniority.
  • Paid parental and adoption leave
  • Compensation Range: $60k-70k base + $60k-70k variable = $120k-$140k OTE, depending on location.

Compensation ranges are determined by role and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the pay range for the position across all US locations.
