Our work is varied and we are often very busy, so we need a Publications Manager who is able to juggle multiple tasks, meet deadlines and deliver high quality results. Excellent English-language skills, strong attention to detail and knowledge of the publishing process are essential.

About the role

Our Communications team produces a wide range of products – from legacy reports, policy briefs, and websites, to animations and infographics. We work at all stages of the publications process from concept development, writing, editing and proofreading, to design, layout and translation. Your work will require you to engage with a wide range of subject areas across sustainable development, including agriculture, climate change, gender, water resources management and poverty reduction.

You will be responsible for managing projects from start to finish. This will include being a main point of contact for clients and providing innovative suggestions for communications products. You will manage the projects assigned to you and ensure that they are delivered to an excellent standard. Experience of copyediting and proofreading is therefore essential.

Project management tasks will include producing quotations and schedules, managing budgets, carrying out product research, sourcing photos, formatting Word documents, and developing and maintaining the Communications team’s processes and systems.

Many projects involve working closely with Scriptoria’s other departments (Consulting; Data and Technical; and Training). You will gain an insight into their specialities and work collaboratively to provide a range of bespoke communications and knowledge management solutions for clients.
