You will identify key target researchers and research groups to develop and implement structured commissioning plans.
You will commission high-quality, relevant content for a range of titles across our journal portfolio, delivering content within specified timeframes.
You will build strong networks with these researchers via 1:1 discussion, presentations, conference attendance, etc., and engage them in discussion regarding potential Article Collections and submissions to Taylor & Francis journals. You will work closely with them to act as key ambassadors and advocates to encourage submissions from their community.
You will liaise closely with editors, authors, and other key partners to ensure delivery of the content pipeline.
