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

Join us as Commissioning Editor and drive the growth of our law publications.

You'll work as part of a global team and be responsible for identifying and securing new titles that align with our strategic publishing goals.

You will commission an agreed portfolio of new products targeted at both the research and teaching community.

The list is recognised as one of the top academic lists in the world, and you will have the chance to be an important voice in shaping its future development to ensure it continues to meet the diverse needs of researchers and instructors at a time of great change in the publishing landscape.

The academic law list covers several sub fields within law with many of its publications dealing with urgent public policy issues.

You will utilise your expertise to evaluate proposals, conduct market research, and manage author relationships to ensure timely delivery of content.

You will negotiate contracts, determine pricing strategies, and strengthen our network within key academic institutions.

Someone that combines the intellectual confidence to engage with current trends and debates in the academic law community with the analytical and organisational skills to manage a large list to ensure it meets its financial targets.

You will need to be a self-confident networker both in person and in virtual environments, and you will demonstrate a commitment to collaboration.

You will have a demonstrated interest in the publishing arena and experience of working in academic law publishing. Experience with scholarly publishing and knowledge of primary publishing models across print and digital media.
In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:
~28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
~ Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
~ Discretionary annual bonus
~ Group personal pension scheme
~ Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
~ Green travel schemes

We are a hybrid working organisation, and we offer a range of flexible working options from day one. We expect most hybrid-working colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location.

We will also consider other work arrangements if you wish to work more flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.

Please note, Cambridge University Press & Assessment is unable to sponsor this role under the Skilled Worker Visa route as it does not meet the minimum skill requirements.

You'll belong to a collaborative team that's exploring new and better ways to serve students, teachers and researchers across the globe – for the benefit of individuals, society and the world.

Sharing our mission will inspire your own growth, development and progress, in an environment which embraces difference, change and aspiration.

Cambridge University Press & Assessment is committed to being a place where anyone can enjoy a successful career, where it's safe to speak up, and where we learn continuously to improve together.

We welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of demographic characteristics (age, disability, educational attainment, ethnicity, gender, marital status, neurodiversity, religion, sex, gender identity and sexual identity), cultural, or social class/background.

We believe better outcomes come through diversity of thought, background and approach.

We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and communities, actively seeking to employ people from a wide range of different communities.
