We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

Do you have up-to-date knowledge of the education publishing industry with educational publishing experience?

Are you able to work on complicated projects with multiple stakeholders?

If you have answered yes to the above questions, we would love to hear from you.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your publishing skills as part of a fast-moving and dynamic department in a highly respected and global company.

About the role

You will support authors and manage freelancers during the writing and development of designated content (which could be print, digital, or blended products).

You will implement best-practice teaching methodology within our content and ensure that quality standards are adhered to at all stages of the publishing process.

This role requires collaborating with so many different teams that you will be an integral part of implementing our content.

Directly working with teams such as commissioning, design, and delivery - the creation of our content is your main goal.

There will be lots of opportunities to get involved with working with a range of external stakeholders such as authors, development editors, suppliers and many more.

A day to day in your role might look like:

Participating in author briefing meetings, advising on editorial and content processes, and working collaboratively to create and agree detailed writing plans
Building effective author relationships to produce high quality content, while adhering to budget and schedule constraints
Reviewing and approving author writing samples and draft manuscripts, advising on any editorial or pedagogical queries that may arise throughout the writing period
Managing the content review process
Checking and accepting final manuscripts
Reviewing and resolving content queries at copyedit and proof stages

About you

We are looking for a highly motivated and organised individual, with the ability to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

Your previous experience of overseeing the creation of high-quality content, and a proven track record of managing a demanding workload in a fast-paced environment will make you successful in this role.

Previous teaching experience would be an advantage.

For a full brief of what this role entails and what will make you successful, please see the full job description attached to the bottom of this vacancy on our careers page.

Rewards and benefits
We will support you to be at your best in work and to live well outside of it.

In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:

Group personal pension scheme
Discretionary annual bonus
Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
Green travel schemes

We also offer flexible and hybrid working options from day one. We will consider any work arrangements if you wish to work flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.
