Part Time Ems Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Are you a seasoned leader in your "second half" looking to trade corporate success for Kingdom and community significance? This is a unique "Portfolio Life" opportunity (10–13 hours/week) designed for someone with a background in high-stakes logistics—think military, EMS, or executive operations—who still craves the "adrenalin of the mission" but wants to focus on mentorship and legacy, and while leaving enough free time in the schedule to let you live the life you want. We are seeking a part-time operations director to serve as the tactical lead for our backcountry support systems in Montrose. This role is for those ready to give back by redeploying a lifetime of professional wisdom to train up the next generation. You will be the organizing energy behind our logistics and operational strategy, but your true impact lies in facilitating leadership and action from a young professional or intern just starting out. The leadership of this role is leading someone through the humble stewardship of managing food and laundry logistics, combined with the technical readiness to lead an emergency response using radio, satellite, and wilderness navigation. If you have a background in high-stakes logistics—military, EMS, or executive operations—and a heart for discipling college interns to lead with excellence, we have a seat at the leadership table for you.  As an extra plus, you might combine your experience in the outdoors or expedition leadership with the mental health efforts to significantly push back against suicide, overdose, and/or emotional breakdown.

Through all of the different skill sets and tactics, your eyes are really on 1-2 key leaders that you are developing and overseeing. 

You will not necessarily be "boots on the ground" for every task, but you are the architect and mastermind facilitator, ensuring the right people, vehicles, and supplies move in and out of the mountains at the right time.

• High-Stakes Composure: Background in EMS, Law Enforcement, or Military Logistics (or significant backcountry or expedition management) is highly preferred for emergency field scenarios.
