About the Role

At FineLines Editing Ltd, we believe exceptional writing deserves exceptional editorial leadership. Every document we edit represents our commitment to precision, clarity, and professionalism. We're looking for an experienced Managing Editor who will oversee our editorial operations, maintain the highest quality standards, and lead a talented team of editors and proofreaders. This is more than managing deadlines—you'll shape editorial processes, mentor professionals, and ensure every project consistently exceeds client expectations.

As our Managing Editor, you'll work closely with writers, editors, project coordinators, and clients while driving continuous improvements across our editorial workflow. If you're passionate about language, leadership, and delivering outstanding work, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Work With Us?

Collaborative Environment: Join an experienced editorial team that values knowledge sharing, constructive feedback, and professional excellence. We believe great editing comes from great collaboration.

Meaningful Projects: Work on a diverse portfolio of business publications, academic materials, professional documents, marketing content, and digital publications across multiple industries.

Editorial Excellence: Quality is at the center of everything we do. You'll have the authority to establish editorial standards, improve workflows, and influence how projects are delivered from start to finish.

Professional Growth: We encourage continuous learning and leadership development. You'll have opportunities to refine processes, mentor editors, and help shape the future direction of our editorial department.

Key Responsibilities

Editorial Leadership: Lead the daily operations of the editorial team, ensuring projects are completed accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.

Quality Assurance: Review edited content for grammar, style, consistency, formatting, and overall quality before final delivery to clients.

Workflow Management: Coordinate multiple editorial projects simultaneously while balancing priorities, resources, and deadlines.

Team Development: Mentor editors and proofreaders through coaching, feedback, and regular quality reviews to support their professional growth.

Client Collaboration: Work directly with clients to understand project objectives, communicate progress, resolve editorial questions, and deliver exceptional service.

Editorial Standards: Develop, maintain, and continuously improve editorial guidelines, style manuals, and quality control procedures across all content types.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: At least 5 years of professional editing experience, including previous responsibility for managing editorial projects or leading editorial teams.

Editorial Expertise: Exceptional command of written English with advanced editing, proofreading, copy editing, and content review skills.

Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to motivate teams, manage workloads, delegate effectively, and maintain high editorial standards.

Organization: Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.

Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with confidence working alongside clients, editors, and internal stakeholders.

Mindset: You're highly organized, solutions-focused, and committed to continuous improvement. You enjoy building efficient editorial processes while helping others perform at their best.

Pay: £39,000.00-£45,081.62 per year

Benefits:
