The Technical Director will lead the production efforts at The Compass Church’s Naperville Campus, overseeing in-person, online, and broadcast experiences. This role is about building and leading volunteer teams, developing scalable systems, and creating seamless, distraction-free environments for worship.

• Oversee and maintain AVL systems, ensuring technical excellence and proactive issue resolution.
• Develop scalable systems that prioritize innovation while remaining budget-conscious and sustainable.
• Participate in creative planning and production meetings, contributing to the vision and execution of services.
• Lead future AVL upgrades, particularly in the area of video, with a long-term systems mindset.
• Support production for church wide events and step into non-technical roles when needed to serve the broader church.

What a Strong Candidate Would Look Like:

• A self-starter with a passion for production and the drive to pursue excellence without constant oversight.
• A servant-hearted leader who builds trust and empowers volunteers to grow both spiritually and technically.
• Relationally intuitive and skilled at developing community within volunteer teams and staff culture.
• Technically proficient with live audio and video systems, with broadcast experience preferred.
• Teachable and flexible—able to adapt to evolving systems and collaborate in a multisite team.
• Experienced in leading volunteers and/or staff in a church or similar environment, ideally at a large or multisite church.
