Job Openings

Are you committed, talented and passionate about your career and your relationship with God? Then you might have what it takes to join the Pulse 101.7 Team!

Administrative Assistant

Part-Time or Full-Time

Are you the person who color-codes the spreadsheet before anyone asks you to? Who can’t walk past a messy closet without reorganizing it, but also lights up a room the second you walk in? We’re looking for an Administrative Assistant who gets genuine satisfaction from getting the small stuff right — clean data, a well-run event, a donor letter with zero typos — but who’s equally energized by people, creativity, and making everyone who walks through our door feel welcome. If you’re organized and outgoing, detail-driven and a little bit creative, we’d love to meet you.

This role keeps the behind-the-scenes engine of Pulse 101.7 running smoothly — donor engagement, accounting support, public file reporting, and event coordination all come through this seat. We’re offering it as either a part-time or full-time position, depending on the right fit: full-time candidates will also take the lead on our social media presence.

Core Responsibilities (Part-Time & Full-Time)

  • Coordinate and execute listener and donor events (some evenings required)
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for listeners, donors, sponsors, and advertisers
  • Handle payables and receivables, coordinating with our accountant
  • Complete data entry for all donations in Donor Perfect
  • Compile and maintain donor and financial reports for the general manager
  • Proofread and edit written communications to donors
  • Help coordinate and schedule CityStop and Pulse Education events
  • Track inventory and order office supplies and promotional items
    Support general administrative tasks (filing reports, coordinating with the accountant, etc.)

Added Responsibility for Full-Time:

  • Take the lead on our social media presence — planning, posting, and engaging across our platforms in a way that reflects the Pulse 101.7 voice. 

Hours:

  • Part-Time: approx. 25–30 hours/week, mostly daytime hours, with some evenings throughout the year for events and fundraisers
  • Full-Time: approx. 35–40 hours/week, with the same daytime/evening event schedule plus ongoing social media responsibilities

 

Compensation: Commensurate with experience.

What We’re Looking For:
Hospitality. Makes staff, visitors, donors, and advertisers feel welcome and appreciated. Outgoing and willing to engage.
Communication. Speaks and writes clearly and articulately without being overly verbose. Holds this standard across every channel — social media, email, and in person.
Attention to detail. Doesn’t let important details slip through the cracks or derail a project.
Curiosity. Willing to dig into our donor software when something could be used better or cleaned up.
Persistence. Demonstrates tenacity and follow-through on getting things done.
Proactivity. Acts without being told — brings new ideas and is willing to go the extra mile for listeners and donors.
Creativity/innovation. Generates new and interesting approaches to problems and content.
Listening skills. Lets others speak and genuinely seeks to understand their point of view.
Loyalty. A strong sense of support and allegiance to the leadership of our organization.
Faith. Authentically experiencing Christ in daily life and living it out in a way that bears spiritual fruit.

Staff Culture
Honesty/integrity. Doesn’t cut corners ethically. Earns trust, keeps confidences, and speaks plainly and truthfully.
Enthusiasm. Brings passion and a can-do attitude, and works hard to get the job done.
Chemistry. Connects naturally with the rest of the team.
High standards. Expects personal and team performance to be nothing short of the best.
Teamwork. Collaborates with peers and supervisors, and takes care of the people around them.
Coachable. Open to correction, criticism, and new ideas — and acts on it.

Internships

We will begin accepting internships for Summer ’27 in January, 2027.

Do you love Pulse music and want to learn more about working in media? Our summer CityStop internship is a great place to spend your time! You’ll be on-site at dozens of events throughout the summer, plus, you’ll learn more about social media, written and on-air communication, and more.

To be considered for this position, you must:

  • love music

  • have solid communication skills and be able to talk to just about anyone

  • be over 18 and have a good driving record

This isn’t a “sit in the corner and watch” kind of internship. It’s a jump in, be part of it, learn by doing kind of summer.

From May through August, you will:

  • Build real communication skills by connecting with listeners at events

  • Learn what it’s like to be an on-air DJ (yes, really)

  • Help create social media and written content that people actually engage with

  • Get a behind-the-scenes look at how a listener-supported radio station runs

We’re looking for a college-aged individual—someone eager to grow in their career path—who’s outgoing, dependable, and ready to try new things.

A few important details:

  • This is a paid internship

  • Runs May–August

  • Requires a flexible schedule (some office time + nights/weekends for events)

  • And yes… there’s potential for a job at the end 👀
