Role overview
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. At Tyndale, our production team is made up of people who love the details — the feel of a cover, the weight of the pages, even the smell of a freshly printed book. They're stewards as much as they are buyers, working to make sure every dollar invested in a title is well spent and every book represents Tyndale well on the shelf. It's a collaborative, detail-driven group that takes real pride in doing this work with excellence.
As a Production Assistant, you'll play a key role in keeping Tyndale's books on schedule and on budget. You'll coordinate production timelines across departments, track the details that keep projects accurate, and serve as a clear communicator with everyone involved in bringing a book to life. This role is a great fit for someone who thrives on details, adapts easily when priorities shift, and wants a front-row seat to how a book actually gets made.
What you'll do
- Coordinate production schedules across multiple departments to keep each title on track for its release.
- Serve as a communication liaison between the production team and partners throughout the company, keeping projects aligned.
- Track and manage product details with accuracy, helping ensure every book reflects Tyndale's standard of quality.
- Adapt to shifting priorities throughout the day and week, staying focused while managing multiple details under pressure.
- Support responsible stewardship of Tyndale's production budget by helping ensure resources are well spent on every project.
