Editorial Project Manager

Our client is a prestigious professional publisher that is well known for having with the highest editorial standards. We are looking for an experienced Editorial Project Manager to join their team on a 15 month maternity cover contract, based remotely in the first instance and on a flexible basis in London in future.

With previous editorial and project management experience in professional or technical publishing (either print or online), you will develop and publish a portfolio of high quality publications on time and to budget. You will proactively manage authors and committees through the drafting and delivery process and use your strong editorial skills to ensure that the publications meet the language, structure, consistency requirements, and also conform to the set guidelines.

Whilst editorial experience would be amazing, the most important experience for this particular role is external stakeholder management experience.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly prestigious, well regarded professional publisher as Editorial Project Manager.
