Do you have project management experience? Have you worked with XML workflows and/or ebooks?  Do you have knowledge of BSI proof correction marks? Yes to all or some of these? This fabulous job could be perfect for you.

We are looking for a Senior Project Coordinator to line manage a team of Project Coordinators and to project manage the development of print and digital products for the international exams markets.

In this role you will directly project manage up to 30 titles per year, including the process to set the project schedules and budgets; you will have full responsibility for delivery of the completed product.
