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.

In this role, you'll drive real business impact, turning marketing priorities into compelling content that boosts organic visibility, deepens audience engagement, and supports sales for major book and Bible launches. Success in this role calls for a rare combination of sharp editorial instincts and polished writing ability, paired with hands-on CMS publishing skills and a practical command of SEO and keyword strategy. You'll need to be equally comfortable crafting a compelling headline, managing a fast-moving editorial calendar, and mining performance data to sharpen what comes next. Apply your craft in service of a mission that matters, working alongside marketing, editorial, publishing, and creative teams to bring life-giving content to our readers!
