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.

As a Spanish Editor at Tyndale House Publishers, you'll help shape and refine Spanish resources that reach readers around the globe. This role is more than traditional editing, it's built on partnering with authors, guiding manuscripts from early concept to finished product, and holding every project to a high bar for clarity, quality, and theological soundness. To thrive here, you'll need strong bilingual instincts, sound editorial judgment, and the ability to juggle multiple projects with care and precision. This role sits at the crossroads of language, faith, and storytelling — a great fit for someone who wants their editorial skill to serve a larger mission.
