• Providing regular programme-level updates and leading client calls where required

• Supporting RFPs, pricing, contracts and programme-level reporting
• Mentoring and supporting project managers, including identifying training and development needs
• Working closely with portfolio, operations, finance and delivery teams to keep the programme running smoothly

What you’ll bring

• Strong programme or senior project management experience within publishing, content production or learning/education delivery
• Experience managing complex, multi-component publishing projects
• Strong understanding of editorial and production workflows, from manuscript through copyediting, proofreading, QA and final files
• Experience working with external suppliers, freelancers or offshore production teams

• A calm, solutions-focused approach
• Strong attention to detail and an ability to work within specific client processes
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to keep stakeholders informed and aligned
• A flexible, hands-on attitude and willingness to learn the customer’s way of working

Educational publishing experience would be highly regarded, particularly across curriculum, learning content, humanities, modern foreign languages, science or similar subject areas. Broader publishing experience, including academic, magazine, content production or print/digital publishing, may also be relevant if you understand structured editorial workflows and complex production delivery.
