Full job description

We are the world’s largest university press. That means we serve the academic community as no other publisher can. We work in partnership with institutions and learned societies to bring a world of knowledge to the fingertips of students and researchers worldwide.

The goal is impact. Together with our academic communities, we curate and seamlessly connect together the ideas that push their fields forward, so they can learn from them, add to them, and continue a virtuous cycle of scholarship.

And because we are a part of the academic community and guided in everything we do by our mission, we re-invest in our people, our publishing, and the world-leading research institution of which we are part.

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional individual to help support and shape the working rhythm of the Research Editorial team. This is a large and busy department, publishing world-leading and authoritative research works, reference content, trade books, and an extensive online portfolio.

This role provides senior administrative, programme coordination, and leadership support to the Global Academic Publisher and the Research Editorial leadership team. It acts as a central hub for the department, managing key workflows, reporting cycles, meeting governance, stakeholder communications, and cross-functional processes to support delivery of the strategic plan. The successful candidate will be comfortable delivering a combination of executive support, programme coordination, and intelligent prioritisation, whilst maintaining your own exceptionally high standards of judgement and communication.

The role requires strong judgement, digital confidence, and the ability to work proactively, using approved AI and automation tools where appropriate, to streamline routine coordination and support strong prioritisation, decision-making, and follow-through.

We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office.

About You

As the successful candidate, you will be a confident and proactive self-starter, with strong digital literacy, who is comfortable evaluating the big picture with a view to reinventing the underlying workflows that make everything tick.

Your skills and experience will include:

Excellent judgement, discretion, and ability to prioritise in a complex and fast-moving stakeholder environment.
Demonstrable experience as a self-starter with a strong track record of anticipating needs rather than waiting to be directed, and proactive in solving problems.
Experience coordinating complex workflows or recurring business processes across multiple stakeholders.
Confidence working with data, reports, dashboards, and spreadsheet-based processes; Power BI experience desirable.
Strong digital literacy and genuine curiosity about using approved AI and automation tools to improve administrative and operational workflows.
Exceptional written communication, with the ability to draft clear and accurate communications, presentation decks, meeting summaries, minutes, and briefing notes with minimal supervision.
Experience improving, documenting, or standardising processes.
Comfortable working across time zones and with colleagues in multiple locations.

Benefits

We care about work/life balance here at OUP. With this in mind we offer 25 days’ holiday that rises with service, plus bank holidays and Christmas closure (3-days) and a 35-hour working week. We are open to discussing flexibility in respect to working patterns, dependent on role. We also have a great variety of active employee networks and societies.

We help make your money go further by contributing to your pension up to 12%, offering loans and savings schemes through our partnership with Salary Finance, in addition to travel to work schemes and access to a wide range of local discounts.

This role comes with the added benefit of a discretionary annual payment.

Please see our Rewards and Recognition page for more information.
