Wycliffe Bible Translators
Waxhaw, NC, USA
When was the last time your IT skills reached right across the world and had an eternal impact? Today, over 2000 people groups, 115 million people still don’t have the Bible translated into their languages! Wycliffe USA believes the Word of God transforms lives when people hear it in their own language, and we urgently need you to join the team! As an IT Support Specialist, you will be the crucial lifeline that enables Bible translation projects to move forward around the world. You will be part of network services on the campus of JAARS, Inc. which serves over 500 missionaries locally engaged in the work of supporting Bible translation worldwide. Job Location: Waxhaw, North Carolina Each day is different! One day you may be procuring and deploying IT equipment. Another day you’ll troubleshoot problems with a translator’s laptop running linguistic software or a Director’s stand-alone that is acting up. Later you might analyze trends and develop strategies for improvement, while expanding your knowledge base through multiple professional growth opportunities. You may be asked to become a specialist in a particular application or service the campus-wide VoIP system. It’s all about providing technology to end-users in order for them to be effective in using technology to accomplish and enhance their work.
This job might be for you if…
You like helping people. You’re patient. You know how to translate “computer-ese” to someone’s grandma.
Not only is having multiple irons in the fire exhilarating for you, but you are able to maintain a zen-like calm through the chaos.
You’re focused and detail-oriented, and feel it is imperative to have high standards - both ethically and in the workplace.
You love to learn new things, and you tackle new problems, new software, new procedures, and teammates’ new ideas with enthusiasm.
In your free time, you tinker on computers. As a result, you’re familiar with the common operating systems, business productivity software, hardware configuration, and network connectivity/workstation configuration.
You are the one people turn to at Christmas parties for data backup/restoration tips, or when little Susie’s mobile device needs help.
Although you are happy working by yourself, you also thrive in a team and enjoy working cross-culturally.
It’s a bonus if…
You either have a degree in something like telecommunications or computer science or you have spent so much time learning these skills that you don’t need a paper to prove it!
You have worked in customer service and IT and not only survived, but thrived!
Important Note In becoming a member of a faith-based organization, you will receive extensive training and resources in partnership development so that gifts given to the preference of your ministry account are provided for your salary, benefits, and ministry related expenses. We are prepared to answer any questions you may have. REF ID: 28618a Sarah
