Alright, friends... this is a big one. When I joined BibleProject six years ago, I was a contracted copy editor. Now, our Audience Communications team is hiring a Senior Editor to help up-level our writing and editing across the organization.

- If you're a fan of BibleProject and love the Bible...
- If you're an experienced editor...
- If you delight in strong copy processes and training...
- If you think I used too many ellipses in this post... 😆

This might be the role for you.

(I should mention that I'm not the hiring manager for this position, but I'm happy to answer any general questions about BibleProject if you'd like to reach out!)
