Job Description:
About the Role
In the Journal Manager role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operational management of your own portfolio of academic journals.
You will be responsible for overseeing the end-to-end publication process of these journals, becoming an operational expert in their workflows and processes, and a technical expert in the systems they use. You will be empowered to drive improvements on your journals by optimising journal configuration and workflows. You won’t need an understanding of the content of the publications, or a scientific background.
You will build and maintain trust and long-term collaborative relationships with global stakeholders via emails and virtual video calls with your external customers (Society partners, editors, authors and reviewers) and your internal stakeholders (Publishers and other teams).
To enable your success, a full training program will be delivered by experienced colleagues, plus continued mentoring support. If you are excited about working for Elsevier and feel your previous experience has given you transferable skills in at least some of the areas mentioned, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
Become the operational expert for your portfolio so you can offer a first-class, personalised service to our Society partners and external customers (researchers/editors/authors/reviewers)
Support and work closely with the other key contacts responsible for the success of the journals (Societies, Editors, Publishers, third-party suppliers, and other internal teams)
Build and maintain strong working relationships with your internal and external stakeholders through trust, reliability, and expertise
Continuously monitor editorial and production processes, ensuring deadlines are met from submission to publication
Use reporting to spot trends in data and drive process improvements for maximum speed and efficiency
Requirements
You have excellent written and verbal communication skills that enable you to build strong relationships with customers/stakeholders
You can learn new systems and technical processes/workflows, and your communication skills allow you to articulate technical problems to a variety of stakeholders in an understandable way
You thrive on autonomy, and you’re comfortable driving results and change through virtual relationships
You have experience of managing deadlines, and you feel comfortable prioritising and communicating when problems arise
You can work in our Exeter office one day per week

Please include a cover letter detailing your interest and suitability for the role. This is required as part of the application process.
