Vice President for Human Resources

God could have translated the Bible on his own. But instead he chose to use people.

As the vice president for human resources for Wycliffe Bible Translators, you would lead the team who is striving to find, serve and prepare people for this incredible work that God has asked us to do.

Today, over 1,800 people groups, 170 million people, still don’t have the Bible translated into their languages! Wycliffe USA believes the Word of God can transform lives when people hear it in their own language or form, and we urgently need you to join the team!

Job Location: Orlando, Florida (You must be legally authorized to work in the United States as per U.S. employment laws.)

Minimum yearly salary: $108k (negotiable based on experience)

Every day has an impact! You’ll work alongside the executive vice presidents for several departments while leading a staff of 10-50 members, including senior HR managers. You’ll be responsible for developing organizational strategy and initiatives, engaging with partner organizations and contributing to the oversight of Wycliffe USA business operations.
