Tyndale House Publishers
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.
Tyndale Alliances is a five-person, agile, tight-knit team within Tyndale House Publishers that serves two niche, independent Christian publishers: Focus on the Family and NavPress. Our goal with our partners is to continually move toward excellent communication, strong relationships, and long-term growth. Interested in working on a thoughtful, collaborative, and creative team? We’re a fun bunch that loves Jesus, and we’re ready to train, support, and encourage the right candidate.
As part of the Tyndale Alliances team, you will play a key role in introducing products that help people grow spiritually and relationally. You will manage multiple projects simultaneously, working both independently to deliver projects with excellence within established deadlines and budgets, and collaboratively, building trust and integrity as you lead and manage strategic relationships. A significant part of your work will be to understand the message of each author you represent and to amplify the author’s platform to reach new people seeking these resources. This dynamic position builds strong rapport with authors and our publishing partners across inter-company departments, freelancers, and like-minded organizations, to lead the marketing strategies that create and implement effective campaigns. You will play an active role in our success as you identify felt needs and target audiences; craft compelling, SEO/SEM-rich copy and imagery; schedule, participate in, and lead meetings; develop and present go-to-market plans via Zoom; deliver campaigns on-time and on-budget; and analyze results and adjust future efforts as necessary.
