Job description

Описание:

Springer Nature is iteratively developing a new inhouse platform, the Springer Nature Article Processing Platform (Snapp), to provide a submission and peer review experience that is fast, simple, convenient and rewarding for our authors, editors and reviewers.

Track activities and progress and work with stakeholders on regular and accurate reporting. Facilitate the resolution of workflow blockers and challenges, bringing in other colleagues as necessary, in order to meet the agreed targets for title adoption and article submissions, using conflict management skills and resourcefulness Support the Transformation Initiatives team with other projects as needed, including migrations between publishers, peer-review systems, GPO service providers, systems, and publishing models, as well as journal launches and closures.

Требования:

Proven project management experience. Experience of journal publishing workflows, specifically around the ‘submit to accept’ workflow. Experience in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment. Experience in the successful transition of new technologies and workflows in a commercial environment. Experience of negotiation and successfully integrating customer and operational requirements. A good understanding of the research publishing landscape and how journals and journal publishers serve the research community. Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal. Excellent interpersonal skills with confidence to coordinate operational complexity and communicate effectively with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders. Strong data analysis and reporting skills. Excellent office software skills, specifically in managing spreadsheets and project plans. Undergraduate degree or equivalent work experience. Будет плюсом: Formal project management qualification such as Prince 2 is desirable but not essential

Условия:

This role is offered on a permanent basis and is based in our London office on a hybrid working model.
