Job overview
Cambridge, hybrid
We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
We have an exciting opportunity to join the Academic Content Operations department, working within Journals Content Management who are responsible for the publication processes and quality assurance for our Academic Books, Elements and Journals.
About the role
As an Associate Content Manager, you will manage a list of established journals, from receipt of an accepted manuscript to final publication, online and in print.
You will support production of content from receipt to publication to ensure that article and issue schedules and turnaround times are met, processes (copy-editing, typesetting, proof management, figure processing) are efficient, and content is delivered accurately and in journal style and to our excellent standards for online and print publication, across various publishing models.
Your journal list will cover a wide range of subject areas, and while an interest in key subject areas is advantageous, specific subject knowledge is not a requirement for this role.
You will liaise daily with both external contacts (Academic editors and authors) and internal colleagues to achieve the best results for Cambridge and the Academic community.
We are passionate about development, therefore you will be provided with ongoing training to support your own career goals and our products. There are opportunities to learn more about other content types and we encourage learning and flexibility throughout our team.
About you
We are looking for someone who can be both innovative and organised; we have a high volume of content to manage alongside our workflow improvement initiatives as we continuously improve our workflows for Open Research.
Enthusiasm to trial new workflows, being adaptable to new ways of working, excellent communication skills, ability to work to strict deadlines and able to juggle changing priorities are all key skills for this role.
You will be highly collaborative and responsive, with excellent organisational skills. Previous project management experience would be advantageous, and you will be comfortable meeting strict deadlines in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
You do not necessarily need to have publishing experience, as full training will be provided. All we ask is that you are passionate about publishing, and keen to learn, with an enthusiasm for tackling problems with a ‘can-do' attitude.
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
- 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
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.
Ready to pursue your potential? Apply now.
We review applications on an ongoing basis, with a closing date for all applications being 25th June 2023 and interviews are scheduled to take place week commencing 3rd July and 10th July 2023.
Please note that successful applicants will be subject to satisfactory background checks including DBS due to working in a regulated industry.
