What if you could connect with a global community and have an eternal impact?


 


At Wycliffe Bible Translators we believe that when people encounter Jesus through Scripture, lives are transformed forever.

  • Oversee a translation team



  • Offer training, coaching and mentoring



  • Provide linguistic analysis



  • Bring exegetical and technical translation assistance

  • You’re knowledgeable about translation, linguistics, project management and capacity development.



  • You’re ready to live cross-culturally.



  • You work well independently and as part of a team.



  • You have strong interpersonal and communication skills.



  • You’re passionate about supporting local communities to achieve their goals.



  • You demonstrate the desire and ability to support corporate biblical and religious goals and participate in regular work-related spiritual activities without reservation (Spiritual Bona Fide Occupational Qualification).
