Sales Account Coordinator (Ingram)

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.

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.

• In-Person Bookstore Outreach: Visit and develop relationships with bookstores — introducing our line, sharing our brand story, and securing in-store placement opportunities.
• Grow Church & Religious Distribution: Build and manage a network of churches, ministries, and religious institutions interested in carrying Alabaster products. Maintain outreach and follow-up via a CRM system.
• Optimize Listings Across Retail Platforms: Ensure that all book listings across channels are optimized for discoverability, SEO, and conversion — including titles, descriptions, backend keywords, and images.
