About Sage:
Sage is a global academic publisher of books, journals, and library resources with a growing range of technologies to enable discovery, access, and engagement. Believing that research and education are critical in shaping society, Sara Miller McCune founded Sage in 1965. Today, we are controlled by a group of trustees charged with maintaining our independence and mission indefinitely.
Our guaranteed independence means we’re free to:
Do more – supporting an equitable academic future, furthering disciplines that drive social change, and helping social and behavioural science make an impact
Work together – building lasting relationships, championing diverse perspectives, and co-creating resources to transform teaching and learning
Think long-term – experimenting, taking risks, and investing in new ideas
About our Team:
Our Customer Experience team owns and operates the platforms that power every customer interaction and internal support workflow at Sage — including our customer service ticketing system and AI chatbot tools. We are the people who configure, maintain, and improve these systems directly. Our team connects Technology and Customer Services not by passing work between them, but by being hands-on in the platforms themselves. Together, we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the academic publishing landscape.
