The Platform Partnerships Specialist is primarily responsible for supporting and strengthening relationships with Platform partners by coordinating engagement efforts, managing partnership opportunities, and helping cultivate a healthy ecosystem of ministries, organizations, developers, and builders. This role serves as a key connection point between partners and internal teams by maintaining visibility into partner engagement, supporting technical discovery, and helping advance opportunities that expand the impact of the YouVersion Platform.

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.

We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives.

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.
