Successful candidates must have relevant editorial and project management experience specific to monograph book production workflows, and should flag when applying where said expertise includes handling of STEM titles; candidates lacking solid prior monograph PM experience will not be considered.

The PM will be responsible for placing full-service projects with resources (copyeditor, proofreader and indexer) and also working with Lumina Datamatics production teams to prepare typeset page proofs. The PM is responsible for reviewing each of these outputs for acceptable quality. The PM shall maintain author- and client-facing role with respect to delivery and receipt of various outputs throughout life span of a project. Client and author escalations route through this central project PM. Further the PM is responsible for proactively managing overall project schedule.
