About the Organization:

At Wycliffe Canada, we believe that God has spoken, and continues to speak, through His Word—the Bible. The Scriptures point to Jesus, the source of life, restoration, and salvation. Bible translation allows people everywhere to meaningfully engage with God’s Word, which he uses to transform lives in every culture, whether it’s shared in written form, sign language, oral Bible storytelling, audio Scriptures, or videos.

As a member of the Wycliffe Global Alliance, we’re part of a global movement that’s advancing Bible translation, literacy, capacity-building, and activities that encourage meaningful engagement with translated Scriptures. We work with national partners to foster local ownership, long-term sustainability, and increased impact of language projects.

About the Position:

If you're the kind of person who finds real satisfaction in making complex processes run smoothly — and being the steady, reliable presence that staff can count on when HR questions arise — this role was built for you. As HR Operations Administrator, you'll own the full employee lifecycle at Wycliffe Canada:

onboarding, offboarding, recruitment support, benefits administration, and HR compliance. This is a role for someone who closes the loop, not opens a ticket.

What makes it different is the context. Wycliffe Canada exists to ensure people everywhere can access God's Word in their heart language — and the People & Culture team exists to make sure the staff doing that work are fully supported. When HR runs well here, people get to do the work they came to do. That's worth getting right.
