This role is responsible for providing developmental and project management support to the successful, profitable, and timely publication of all Paradigm products. The Associate Editor serves as a central communication hub - coordinating with Product Owners, marketing, authors, reviewers, and internal/external stakeholders to ensure alignment, clarity, and forward momentum on every project.

What Will You Do?

As an Associate Editor, your daily focus will be managing multiple publishing projects simultaneously, ensuring all deliverables are completed on schedule and free of errors. You will act as the primary project management liaison between Paradigm's editorial team and Publishing Services, GRL, and IT - tracking milestones, managing transmittals, and proactively communicating schedule changes to all stakeholders.

The Associate Editor will thoroughly edit and proof copy, verify photo resolution, and enforce consistent nomenclature across all materials.

Additionally, this role will independently develop, execute, and track product surveys and reviews to inform development strategies - recruiting reviewers, synopsizing feedback, and highlighting actionable insights for product owners and authors.
