Explore the Role of a Wycliffe Missionary

At Wycliffe, blend your career with your calling! Our missionaries (called “members”) join with the global church as God engages and transforms communities through his translated Word.

Join a community of care

Have you ever had your company’s vice president call you to see how you’re doing after a crisis? We have. At Wycliffe, our heart is for people — both for our staff and for the language communities where we work. How will you see that lived out?

  • We’ve been doing remote work since before it was trendy. We know how to support remote teams, and we love giving you that flexibility.
  • Your managers care deeply about you and pray with and for you.
  • We’re excited about innovation and creativity, staying on the cutting edge of development for our global partners.
  • We don’t do lone wolves here. You’ll be part of a community of translation partners that serves globally with local churches that are leading their Scripture programs.
  • God’s Kingdom is spectacularly diverse, and Wycliffe is dedicated to enabling everyone’s voice to be heard, included and belong.
  • We believe health is holistic, so in addition to health insurance, retirement plans, FMLA and more, we offer a range of staff care benefits from mental health counseling to spiritual development for all our employees and their families.
  • We love kids. New moms can bring their babies to the office, and families abroad have high quality educational options.
  • Your life is going to change, and your career goals will too. We are passionate about internal mobility, professional development and career growth so you are always ready for the next thing.

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him?
And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him?
And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?
That is why the Scriptures say,
"How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!"

— Romans 10:14-15 (NLT)
