Join us and be part of a mission-driven, independent publisher. You'll work with a diverse group of people who share a passion for empowering researchers, educators, and institutions to shape the future.

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

As Video Development Editor, you will be responsible for acquiring and developing annual content updates for a portfolio of our launched Sage Video collections to ensure that they continuously meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of all end users and our library customers.

With a mix of acquisitions, relationship-building and project management skills, you will be someone who works both effectively and independently to meet your acquisition and content delivery goals to support digital production and other departmental schedules. You will also work effectively across the organization to ensure that communication with relevant departments is productive in support of these activities.

You will be accountable for acquiring and developing new content for a set of published Video collections, according to our product strategy and budget needs, working closely with Editorial, Global Video Production, and other colleagues as required. This role sits in the Video Editorial team as part of the wider Learning Resources team.

Your New Role

• Working under the mentorship of the Executive Editor, acquire and develop new content for published Video collections each year.

• Create original productions and select licensed video content to meet defined annual goals for each collection, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities and audience needs.
• As required, contract and manage Editorial Boards for Video collections, collaborating with them and other academic partners to define the content scope of our Video annual updates.
• Work closely with SMEs or internal collaborators as required to ensure that our launched Video collections have their information architecture (collection taxonomies) kept up-to-date and relevant per these annual content updates; as well any additional ancillary material in support of these Video collections (e.g., student reflection questions).
• Work closely with Global Video Production and other collaborators to deliver Video content on schedule and within budget, proactively tracking and managing progress toward commissioning and production goals using internal systems to prioritize work, identify gaps, and adjust plans; review content at key post-production stages to ensure quality and alignment with editorial standards.
• Taking mentorship from the Executive Editor, support Library Sales and Marketing as needed to ensure we meet sales and usage goals for our Video products.
• Represent Sage externally at national and international conferences as required; some national and possibly international travel will be required.

Can you be our new Video Development Editor? Do you have:

• At least three years of relevant experience within academic publishing, higher education, streaming media, or a related environment, or equivalent demonstrable experience.
• Experience with acquisitions and/or contracting, including managing relationships with external clients or subject matter experts (SMEs).
• Strong listening, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to build and maintain effective relationships.
• The ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects, meet deadlines, and work effectively in a collaborative, hybrid environment.
• Experience adapting to changing priorities and market conditions, using sound judgment to adjust plans and prioritize work as needed.
• The ability to work independently, manage competing demands, and perform effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, with the ability to learn new internal systems and technologies.
• Some knowledge of the streaming media publishing process and industry is a plus, but is not required.
• Some understanding of how video and other digital resources support teaching and learning in higher education is also a plus, but is not required.
