On September 10, 2024, Magazine Training International will launch the official search for a new executive director to replace founder Sharon Mumper when she retires next summer. Responsibilities include: providing visionary leadership for the nonprofit organization; overseeing the strategy and delivery of training and resources; developing and maintaining relationships with key organizations and individuals; overseeing the budget and managing organizational resources; and raising the money needed to fund the organization.

Qualifications include: strong leadership and communication skills; exposure to or experience in Christian publishing; experience in a significant leadership role; international experience; ability to adapt to a changing environment and cultivate new skills; and a mature Christian faith, affirming Scripture as God’s Word and the transforming work of Jesus Christ.

Applicants may apply on the hiring page on MTI’s website at: https://magazinetraining.com/hiring/ Applicants will provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and a supplemental document addressing their faith journey, their interest and experience in Christian missions and Christian publishing, and their leadership experience. Complete information is available on the hiring page.

Over the last 35 years thousands of Christians in publishing worldwide have taken advantage of professional training, including onsite conferences, online courses, printed books and training manuals, DVD courses, dozens of ebooks, scores of video training sessions, dozens of downloadable resources, and a resource-rich website visited monthly by people from more than 100 countries. MTI has access to information and resources, including more than 100 experienced trainers from more than 20 countries, and relationships with Christians publishing magazines in more than 100 countries.

However, we don’t rest on past accomplishments or present opportunities, but look to the future as we seek a new visionary leader who will reach tomorrow’s Christian publishers— those God has called to the ministry of Christian magazine publishing in less-resourced countries.
