Serving as a hands-on practitioner in publishing operations, this individual translates strategic priorities into operational execution, maintaining visibility across project lifecycles from acquisition through production, and ensuring that all publishing initiatives meet quality, timeline, and compliance standards. The Editorial Administrator is expected to develop and maintain the operational infrastructure—systems, trackers, documentation, and reporting views—that provide the program with clarity on project status, resource allocation, and risk management.

This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.
