    • A PhD or equivalent experience in water sciences or related fields (e.g. environmental sciences, water-based epidemiology).
    • Deep understanding of the academic research environment and publishing landscape.
    • Prior experience in journal publishing is essential; commissioning experience is desirable.

    Skills and Attributes:

    • Strong customer focus with a passion for delivering exceptional author experiences.
    • Outstanding time management and organisational skills to manage complex workflows.
    • Proactive and able to take initiative in a fast-paced environment.
    • Excellent communication and relationship-building capabilities.
    • Ability to interpret subject trends and opportunities in water research.
    • High standard of written English.
    • Commercial awareness and a solution-oriented mindset.

    Working with us:

    At IWA Publishing, we value our employees and strive to create an enriching and collaborative work environment that promotes professional growth and personal well-being.

    As a member of our team, you will receive a benefits package designed to support your needs and enhance your work-life balance.

    • Flexible Working Arrangements
    • Competitive Salary
    • 24 days of annual leave, in addition to bank holidays and a Christmas closure period
