About Alabaster

Alabaster is one of the most exciting and fast-growing companies in faith-based publishing today. Founded in Los Angeles, we create beautiful and compelling Christian products — integrating thoughtful design, theological depth, and cultural relevance to help people engage with faith in meaningful ways.

What began as a Kickstarter campaign in 2016 has grown into a brand that has sold over 1 million Bibles and books — helping to pioneer a new category in Christian publishing where design and spiritual depth go hand in hand.

You’ll find our products everywhere — from TikTok Shop and Barnes & Noble to independent bookstores and major Christian conferences across the country. Our titles regularly appear on multiple Amazon Best Sellers lists, backed by over 5,000 five-star reviews. We've been featured by The Washington Post , Fox Business , and Christianity Today , and Alabaster has made six appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies.

At the heart of it all is our 16 person team — a mission-driven, creatively brilliant group of people who care deeply about doing work that matters. We’re building a culture of creativity, excellence, and impact — and we’re just getting started.

If you're excited about creating high-quality, design-forward products that inspire people — we’d love to meet you.

The Opportunity

Our vision is to see all humanity experience God as beautiful — and we believe the future of Christian formation must be creative, accessible, and shaped by culture-makers who care deeply about both truth and creativity.

Over the next 10 years, we’re building Alabaster into a category-defining Christian brand — one that spans across more than just book publishing. We’re assembling a world-class team of builders, storytellers, and operators to make that vision real — people who are hungry to grow, grounded in purpose, and ready to create products that inspire generations.

If you're looking for a once-in-a-decade opportunity to help shape the future of faith and culture — we’d love to meet you.

At Alabaster, You’ll Enjoy

• Ownership and Impact : You’ll be trusted to take ownership of your work and make meaningful contributions from day one. We move fast, stay scrappy, and make decisions that drive real results — with plenty of room for initiative and leadership.
• A Purpose-Driven Team : We’re not just here to sell books — we’re here to build something that matters. Every team member plays a role in shaping products that people love, share, and grow with. You’ll join a team that cares deeply about craft, culture, and impact.
• Top-Tier Team, Grounded in Values : You’ll work alongside thoughtful, talented people who lead with humility and believe relationships matter. We’re proud of our culture — shaped by people who go above and beyond, care deeply, and show up fully.
• Real Results, Not Just Vibes : Alabaster has a 95% employee retention rate, a 5-star Glassdoor review, and has made six appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies. We’re not just a great place to work — we’re a great team doing great work.

The Role

This is a high-leverage, strategic leadership role that turns finance from a reporting function into a decision-making engine. You’ll build a scalable financial operating system, partner cross-functionally to set and manage departmental targets, and ensure Alabaster runs on clarity, accountability, and sound financial discipline.

You’ll balance strategic FP&A leadership with hands-on execution, translating numbers into insights, aligning teams to goals, and ensuring our growth remains sustainable and mission-driven.
