Build With Us — Multiply Mission
Now Building the Team

The sermon doesn't end
on Sunday. Neither does
this opportunity.

Multiply is solving Disciple Drift — the measurable gap between what churches invest in formation and what formation actually produces. We're looking for three founding team members who want to help close it.

The Founder

It's not the leader. It's the infrastructure around them.

For twenty years, Leslie B. James has been working at the intersection of the Black church, community organizing, youth development, and economic mobility — watching gifted leaders build meaningful ministries without the systems to sustain or scale what God is doing in them.

As a leader, he helps people believe there is a bigger and better future than today. Running on an "operating system of hope," he is stewarding his assignment in this season to solve hard problems using biblically grounded principles.

Multiply is the infrastructure answer to that gap. It turns the weekly sermon — the single most invested-in moment in a church's week — into a discipleship system that keeps working through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday without adding a single hour to the pastor's plate.

Leslie leads Multiply Mission as its founder and serves as Director of the Immerse Project through TMS Global, a global mission agency. He also founded Community Playbook, a neighborhood formation tool for faith-rooted community leaders, and Dream Chaser Kids, a youth development platform anchored in the D.R.E.A.M. Milestones framework.

He is building all three simultaneously — and looking for founding team members who are serious enough about the mission to build with him on a rev-share model that has real upside for the right person.

You will not be a vendor. You will be a co-builder. The work is hard, the mission is real, and there is no script for what we are building together.

The Opportunity

Seminaries. Conferences.
Denominations. The unlocked vertical.

Individual church sales are real. But the leverage point in Multiply's growth is institutional: one seminary chancellor, one bishop, one conference president — and forty churches move together. This is the surface we're building toward, and it changes what the right founding team member can earn.

01
Seminary Dividend Model
Theological schools send graduates into churches. Multiply becomes the platform those graduates carry with them — with a recurring dividend flowing back to the institution that trained them. One alumni network can activate dozens of churches from a single relationship.

02
Conference & Denomination Licensing
Annual church conferences are discipleship infrastructure moments disguised as gatherings. Multiply enters at the conference level with a denominational licensing model — one conversation with national leadership, a cohort of churches activated together, a unified formation standard across a network.
Explore Conference Model →
03
Bishop & Network Relationships
In the Black church, authority moves through relationship networks, not cold outreach. The right founding team member already has — or knows how to earn — the trust of district superintendents, presiding bishops, and national ministry leaders. That network has a compounding value that individual church sales never will.

Open Roles

Three founding positions.
All currently held by one person.

These roles exist and are being worked — by me. I need people who can own them so I can focus on what only I can do. If you're reading this, you're probably the referral someone already told you about.

Role 01
Network Development Director
Sales & Growth · Seminary, Conference & Denominational Verticals

Revenue Share · No Base
Mission

To drive Multiply's growth by opening relationships with network-level leaders — seminary chancellors, presiding bishops, conference presidents, and denomination executives — and converting those relationships into cohort-level church activations. Individual church sales are a secondary stream; institutional relationships are the primary mandate.

Outcomes
Open and close a minimum of 3 seminary, conference, or denominational partnerships in the first 12 months — each activating a cohort of 5+ member churches.
Generate a consistent pipeline of Discovery calls with individual church leaders (pastors, executive pastors, ministry directors) on the Starter and Growth plans.
Build and activate the Seminary Alumni Dividend Model: identify 2 seminary partners, negotiate terms, and launch dividend tracking within 18 months.
Represent Multiply at 4+ annual denominational conferences, church leadership gatherings, or seminary events per year — turning booth presence or panel participation into qualified pipeline.
Competencies
Network Fluency
You already have meaningful relationships in the Black church, denominational, or seminary world — or a proven track record of building them quickly. Cold outreach to bishops doesn't work. Warm introductions do.
Persistence Without Pressure
Church leadership decisions move on prayer-and-board timelines, not sales timelines. You know how to stay present without being pushy — and how to re-engage a dormant relationship with dignity.
Proactivity
You do not wait to be told where to look. You identify a conference, find who runs it, get a meeting, and come back with a recommendation — without being asked.
Revenue Share
15% MRR
15% of monthly recurring revenue for every church or institution you close — paid monthly, recurring as long as the account is active. Capped at 25 churches, then renegotiated upward. At 25 Growth-plan churches: ~$6,300/month recurring.
Role 02
Onboarding & Success Manager
Customer Experience · Retention & Relationship

Revenue Share · No Base
Mission

To deliver the "Fully Managed" promise Multiply makes to every church that signs — ensuring each new partner launches with confidence, sees formation results in their first 90 days, and never has a reason to cancel because the system stopped working for them.

Outcomes
Conduct every onboarding call and ensure each new church's first complete sermon experience is built before the call ends — no exceptions.
Successfully configure and launch the Welcome Lounge (first-time visitor journey) and Ministry Fit module (member-to-ministry matching) for every new Growth plan church within 14 days of signing.
Maintain a monthly analytics review cadence with every active church — sharing engagement data, testimony counts, and next-step completions in a format church leaders can present to their boards.
Keep annual churn below 10% across the active church base by identifying at-risk accounts early and re-engaging leadership before they disconnect.
Competencies
Follow-Through on Commitments
Multiply's brand promise is "Fully Managed." If you commit to building a church's first experience before the call ends, it gets built before the call ends. No exceptions. No "I'll send it by end of week."
Pastoral Sensitivity
You understand the culture and rhythms of church leadership — the way decisions get made, the difference between a pastor and an executive pastor, why Sunday changes everything. You don't treat church leaders like B2B clients.
Organization Under Load
You can manage 15–30 active church relationships simultaneously without anything falling through. You have a system — not just a personality — for staying on top of it.
Revenue Share
5% MRR
5% of total monthly recurring revenue across all active churches you manage — paid monthly. At 30 active Growth-plan churches: ~$2,520/month recurring. Retention is the metric. Churn protection is the upside.
Role 03
Sermon Experience Architect
Content Operations · Pipeline Management & QA
Now Filling
Per-Package Fee · No Base
Mission

To run Multiply's core production engine. You aren't writing experiences from scratch; you are managing the pipeline. Your job is to ingest the raw Sunday sermon, feed it into our proprietary "Multiply Monday" tool, perform rigorous quality assurance (QA) on the output so it retains the pastor's voice, and ensure the final discipleship journey is delivered on time, every week.

Outcomes
Manage the weekly ingestion of raw sermon audio/video from active churches into the Multiply Monday tool system.
Perform rigorous QA on the generated output (the Learn, Connect, and Live It Out steps) to ensure theological accuracy and adherence to the pastor's specific vocabulary and tone.
Package and deliver 2 completed weekly experiences per month for each Starter plan church and 4 per month for each Growth plan church — reliably delivered by Tuesday of each week.
Competencies
Systems & Tool Management
You are comfortable working inside software pipelines. You understand how to manage data inputs and outputs efficiently without breaking the operational rhythm.
Theological Quality Control
While our tools do the heavy lifting of extraction, you must possess the theological ear to catch when the tool misses the nuance of the text or the pastor's actual intent.
Efficiency Under Deadline
Sunday happens every seven days. There is no flexibility on the Tuesday delivery. You run a process that is repeatable, reliable, and immune to creative block.
Per-Package Fee
$150 / weekly package
You are paid $150 for every completed weekly package you QA and deliver to a church. (Starter churches = 2 packages/mo. Growth churches = 4 packages/mo). Because the Multiply Monday tool handles the generation, your time is spent strictly on pipeline management and QA, allowing you to handle high volume efficiently.
How We Build

What you're actually signing up for

This is not a role with a handbook and a manager. It is a founding position with a mandate, a mission, and a builder who will be in it with you.

Phantom Equity: Own What You Build
We are building Multiply with an exit mindset. Every key founding role includes participation in our Phantom Equity Program. You get the financial upside of stock ownership (a predetermined percentage of any future company sale) without the liability or complex tax burdens. If we cross the finish line and sell, you get paid. If we win, you win.
Mission-first, always
Disciple Drift is a real problem with a real cost. We talk about it with data. We solve it with infrastructure. The mission is not inspiration — it is accountability. What we build is measured.
Full autonomy, full ownership
Your scorecard is your job description. You know what a win looks like. You decide how, when, and where you work to get there. No check-ins every morning. No micromanaging. Outcomes are the currency.
Co-builders, not contractors
You are not executing someone else's vision. You are part of building something that does not exist at full scale yet. That means your judgment matters, your feedback shapes the product, and your network opens doors I can't.
