Publisher

Company : IOP Publishing
Location : Central Bristol
Closing Date : 24/02/2017
Website : http://ioppublishingcareers.org/vacancies/5834/STM/publisher/

We have an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and commercially aware publishing professional to join us on a fixed term contract to cover maternity leave. You will contribute to the growth, strategic development and in one case, partner management, of three of our flagship plasma science journals, engaging proactively with the communities associated with each journal to identify new publishing development opportunities. The three journals are Nuclear Fusion (published in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)), Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion and Plasma Sources Science and Technology.

About the role:

As Publisher you will be responsible for the strategic development and management of the content of the journals, and associated partner management. With annual KPIs for growth and performance, you’ll establish and communicate the commercial and editorial strategy and direction, and set up processes and plans to operationalize the strategies.

Working proactively and collaboratively across the organization and with colleagues from the wider industry, you’ll keep up to date on the latest developments in the STM publishing environment. You will focus on generating ideas, creating new business, and identifying opportunities to increase market share, providing insightful information to support this. Managing and servicing partner relationships and proactively seeking and engaging with potential new partners will be key to the success of the role.

The successful candidate will be a publishing professional with the enthusiasm, drive and interpersonal skills needed to deliver sustained portfolio growth and development. Commercially aware, you will understand what it takes to make journals profitable and have the interpersonal skills to take a proactive approach in developing our offering to be the first choice for authors and readers. Communication and organisational skills backed by experience are essential, as is a good understanding of the scientist’s expectations for a research journal.

The Publisher role is an opportunity to develop your career in a leading international scientific publisher.

About you:

  • Educated to degree level or equivalent, ideally in a scientifically related field
  • Previous experience in scientific, technical and medical (STM) publishing
  • Understanding of the priorities and expectations of an academic research journal

  • Exceptional communication, networking and society partnership skills and experience, with the ability to build effective relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
  • Proven commissioning skills and results
  • Willingness to travel to meetings and conferences worldwide

About the benefits:

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer employees a comprehensive benefits package including an excellent pension scheme, discretionary annual bonus scheme, private medical insurance, life assurance and generous annual leave, and a range of flexible benefits including childcare vouchers and gym membership. We also have a subsidised café which is a popular, sociable spot for meetings and lunch.

Our modern and contemporary offices are based in the thriving city centre of Bristol, a stone’s throw away from Temple Meads train station, and within walking distance of Cabot Circus shopping centre, and numerous cafés and restaurants. Named on more than one occasion as the best city in the UK to live in, Bristol is a cosmopolitan and creative city boasting a historic harbour, internationally renowned cultural institutions and home to world-class festivals and events.
