Project Editor

As a Project Editor at Macmillan Learning, you’ll guide custom publishing projects across the humanities, social sciences, and STEM from initiation through production. You’ll coordinate schedules, keep authors informed, and work across teams to deliver accurate, high-quality materials on time.

You’ll also build relationships that last beyond a single project—staying connected with authors and customers, understanding their evolving needs, and helping identify what comes next. This individual contributor role is built for someone who enjoys bringing order to complex work and helping people move forward together.
