For 1 in 5 people worldwide, the Bible remains inaccessible in their own language. Wycliffe Bible Translators has been working to change this since 1953, and with over 4,000 languages in active translation today, the pace of progress has never been faster. But the work is far from done — and the people behind it need a leader who can help them thrive.
We are seeking a strategic Director for People to join Wycliffe’s leadership team. You will have a track record in senior people leadership, with deep expertise across talent development, member care, and organisational culture. Reporting to the Executive Director, you will oversee both the care and support of 250+ mission members serving globally, and the people strategy for a 65-strong remote-first UK staff team. Monthly in-person gatherings are held in the Oxfordshire area.
For a seasoned People and Culture leader with a heart for global mission, this is a rare opportunity to join a remarkable organisation at a pivotal moment.
