Production Assistant (Book Publishing)

Tyndale House Publishers•Carol Stream, IL

5h•$22 - $26

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. At Tyndale, our production team is made up of people who love the details — the feel of a cover, the weight of the pages, even the smell of a freshly printed book. They're stewards as much as they are buyers, working to make sure every dollar invested in a title is well spent and every book represents Tyndale well on the shelf. It's a collaborative, detail-driven group that takes real pride in doing this work with excellence. As a Production Assistant, you'll play a key role in keeping Tyndale's books on schedule and on budget. You'll coordinate production timelines across departments, track the details that keep projects accurate, and serve as a clear communicator with everyone involved in bringing a book to life. This role is a great fit for someone who thrives on details, adapts easily when priorities shift, and wants a front-row seat to how a book actually gets made.
