About The Position

For more than 60 years, Tyndale has helped readers discover the life-giving truths of God’s Word. Today we’re one of the largest independently owned Christian publishers in the world. Though our business has grown, our mission remains the same: to open God’s Word to as many as possible in language they can relate to and understand. The Bible Acquisitions team at Tyndale House Publishers plays a critical role in publishing and disseminating God’s Word around the world, increasing Bible use, and innovating Bible engagement. We are a mission-driven, collaborative, and impact-focused group, passionate about advancing God’s Kingdom through Scripture. Our work centers on serving the global church through the development of meaningful, innovative Bible products. As part of this supportive and creative team, you’ll be surrounded by people who care deeply about the gospel, one another, and the work we’ve been called to do. As Acquisitions Editor on the Bible Publishing team, you’ll help identify, acquire, and develop compelling Bible products—working with internal teams, external authors, and ministry partners. From creating new Bible concepts to refreshing existing lines, you’ll be a strategic voice in shaping the most trusted Christian Bible products in the market. After an initial training period, this role is open to a hybrid work schedule, which means you'll be given the flexibility to split time between working from home and in the office. The work from home days for this team are Wednesdays and Fridays. We want to hear more about you and why you are interested in Tyndale and this role, so we highly recommend including a cover letter. Tyndale has been repeatedly certified as a Best Christian Workplace. Learn more about us and what we believe at www.tyndale.com/our-mission.
