The Director of Content Review is primarily responsible for building systems and processes to determine standards for the content that will sit alongside scripture in our family of apps to engage the global church in God’s Word. This role provides clear guidelines and communications for partners, users, teams, and volunteers to make content review decisions consistent with YouVersion’s desire to engage everyone, everywhere in God’s Word every day. The Director of Content Review is responsible for identifying and convening qualified advisors from across the global Body of Christ. This role collaborates with the YouVersion Team Leader of Content to cast vision, provide direction, and lead ministry efforts within their area of influence.

YouVersion was created by the local church in 2007 and remains a ministry of Life.Church today. At Life.Church, our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our team is committed to reaching people worldwide through innovative technology. And YouVersion is one of the ways we get to do that. Life.Church is a multi-site Christian church meeting in the United States and globally at Life.Church Online.

We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That’s why YouVersion creates biblically-based experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God. We hope everyone in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer every day.
