Write cover texts and sales and marketing copy; provide information on publications to distributors and other external parties.
Assist the Publisher in maintaining and updating MFA Publications’ house style, and in training others in editorial standards and procedures. Participate in internal forums on questions surrounding accessible and inclusive language.
Maintain awareness and knowledge of trade art publishing and other museum-sector publishing activity. Represent MFA Publications in public forums as appropriate.
Where appropriate as determined by Publisher and/or Senior Director of Exhibitions and Publications, represent MFA Publications at external trade shows and conferences such as the BU Art Book Fair and the National Museum Publishing Seminar.

5-7 years’ publishing experience, independently responsible for editorial functions.
Bachelor’s degree in Art History, Museum Studies, English or equivalent related knowledge in illustrated book publishing and project planning, preferably in a museum setting.

Exceptional organizational, planning, time management, and follow-through skills with extreme attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while navigating competing priorities.

Skilled in handling confidential information with care and discretion.
