Hours: .5 FTE, 20 hours/week
Work location: On-site in church office
Reports to: Pastor
salary: $32,500/year
Purpose of Position and Impact on UBC’s Mission:
The Rental / Office Manager is the core of the church operations and the primary contact responsible for actively marketing, promoting, and renting the church’s available spaces in alignment with the congregation’s goals. This includes advertising building availability, identifying and pursuing prospective renters, showing spaces and negotiating rentals, keeping the overall building calendars, knowing what spaces are available for meetings and rentals (short- and long-term), serving as liaison between renters and church, and processing payroll and accounts payable. This is a revenue-generating role rather than a purely administrative support position; the goal is to have the building rented enough to pay for all building expenses (approx. $180K/year).
To perform this position successfully, an individual must be able to perform each Essential Function satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the Essential Functions.

(clear, detailed, measurable – listed in descending order of importance) The primary responsibilities of this position are the marketing, promotion, and rental of the church’s spaces to generate sufficient revenue to cover building expenses. The administrative, communication, and office-support duties listed in the job description are secondary functions that support, and are subordinate to, this core revenue-generating mission.
Other Specific Responsibilities:
- Attend periodic staff meetings, as scheduled.
- Participate in annual performance reviews.
Physical Demands:
The ability to access all floors and areas of the building, including by climbing multiple flights of stairs, is an essential function of this position. This requirement is integral to the marketing and rental responsibilities of the role, including conducting in-person showings of available rental spaces to prospective renters, distributing and collecting keys, and inspecting the condition of rentable spaces located throughout the building.
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform this and other Essential Functions of the position.
This job description does not create any contractual rights or alter the at-will agreement between University Baptist Church and its employees. UBC and its employees may end the employment relationship at any time.
