We're recruiting an experienced Managing Editor for our client, a long-established Christian missionary organization with nearly 2,000 churches across the U.S. and a global ministry presence.

You'll take the editorial lead on its award-winning publication that has been telling stories of faith and mission for more than a hundred years. The next step? Bringing that legacy into a *digital-first future without losing the voice, values, and purpose that have defined it.

• Recruiting and developing writers and freelance contributors
• Editing for voice, clarity, accuracy, consistency, and audience engagement
• Maintaining editorial standards and style guidelines
• Collaboration with storytelling, UX, creative, and organizational leadership
• Publication budgets and freelance resources
• Research, fact-checking, and content alignment
• Occasional travel for events and story-gathering assignments

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in a related field
• 5–7 years of editorial, publishing, journalism, or comparable experience
• Strong editing, writing, proofreading, and storytelling skills
• Experience managing publications, contributors, and editorial production
• Digital publishing experience and an understanding of how audiences consume content today
• Excellent editorial judgment and attention to detail
• Personal alignment with our client's Christian faith, beliefs, values, and missionary purpose
