**Job Profile**:
Publishing - Editorial

**Title**:
Project Editor

**Contract Type**:
Permanent

**Job Purpose**:
**Supporting an effective editorial process**

Working closely with academic writers and production staff, you will have an important role to play in ensuring that files are supplied on time and to specification. From being involved in project management to carrying out critical editorial checks, you will use your strong communication skills to work closely with stakeholders throughout the process.

**What you’ll be doing**

You will be co-ordinating the typesetting process in an effective and timely manner as well as working across MS Word and BPP’s content management system (CMS), amongst other tools, to ensure final products have undergone quality editorial checks, proof checks and pre-flight checks.

You will also be collaborating with the Head of Programmes on specific publishing projects, focussing particularly on schedule drafting, liaising with clients and other key stakeholders, setting editorial standards, advising on publishing best practice and ensuring the project as a whole is delivered to schedule and to the quality expected.

**Choose a better work-life balance**

With hybrid working available, you’ll be able to split your time between one of our centres and wherever you choose to call home. Either way, you’ll benefit from a vibrant workplace and a culture that believes in looking after others, while being part of a diverse workforce where difference is celebrated. In addition, you’ll work alongside other like-minded professionals who champion progress, while having opportunities to develop in an environment where creativity and innovation is rewarded. On top of a competitive salary, we provide a generous annual leave entitlement of 25 days, and there’s a rewards package that includes retail discounts, Group Personal Pension Plan, dedicated healthcare and dental plans that offer additional assurance to look after you and your family. Brilliantly, you can also study any of BPP’s courses for free - be it a professional qualification or full degree.
