Full Job Description

This position is responsible for the financial, editorial management and development of a fixed portfolio of social and behavioral science journals. The Editor I position is expected to manage a full list, approximately 20-30 journals, though quantity and complexity may vary. We are looking for a candidate who is eager to learn about and grow within the academic publishing industry, and is able to quickly pick up new information, think critically and creatively, and engage meaningfully with the daily work.

Please note that this position does not focus on writing or editing of our content as it primarily supports the business, technical, and administrative aspects of journal publishing.

Your New Role:

Editorial & Portfolio Management

Manage a portfolio of Sage-owned and society journals, balancing strategic development with day-to-day operations.
Develop and implement strategies to improve journal performance, usage, citations, and visibility, including abstracting and indexing opportunities.
Implement departmental plans and trackers to support annual goals, liaising with colleagues across departments as needed.
Monitor journal performance, including bibliometrics, indexing opportunities, and Open Access developments, and apply insights to support growth.
Prepare reports, organize editorial board meetings, and support editor contracts and renewals under manager guidance.
Monitor and analyze bibliometrics, finances, and market trends to inform journal and portfolio strategy.

Relationship & Stakeholder Management

Build and maintain positive relationships with editors, societies, authors, and reviewers to support journal success.
Collaborate with internal teams (marketing, sales, production, etc.) to coordinate journal activities and resolve issues.
Communicate clearly and effectively with external partners, representing Sage with professionalism.

Financial & Contract Oversight

Monitor financial performance of assigned journals and ensure revenue and cost targets are met.
Manage society and editor contracts, including renewals, amendments, and negotiations in collaboration with internal collaborators.

Strategic Contribution

Contribute to journal and departmental strategy, providing input on initiatives and projects within defined areas of responsibility.
Participate in cross-departmental committees and projects, sharing updates with the team in a timely manner.
Demonstrate business judgment aligned with Sage’s mission, vision, and values.

Mentorship & Collaboration

Mentor Editorial Assistants and Associates as available, offering guidance and support to help develop skills.
Contribute to a collaborative, solutions-focused team environment.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Partner with editors and societies to improve diversity, equity, and belonging across author, editor, and board representation.
Support initiatives that enhance accessibility and representation within publishing and research communities.

Professional Development & Industry Knowledge

Stay current with industry trends, particularly Open Access, abstracting and indexing, and scholarly publishing developments.
Demonstrate knowledge of Sage’s strategy and goals, applying them to daily work.
Maintain a high level of accuracy, urgency, and quality in all tasks, including business communication and reporting.

Administrative & Operational Support

Oversee and delegate administrative tasks, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
Maintain accurate files, reports, and expense management per company policies.
Contribute to departmental projects, acquisitions, and technology initiatives, as needed.
