Editorial Project Manager

Chiswick,Greater London

About the role

The Editorial Project Manager is a permanent hybrid working position responsible for the delivery of a portfolio of standardisation projects that provide tailored solutions for clients from diverse market sectors. This typically involves managing the drafting, development, and publication of national standards and client-sponsored standards. It also includes managing other client-sponsored standardisation services such as standards mapping and scoping exercises. Where client-sponsored projects are part of a wider programme of activity, the Project Manager works as part of a programme team.

This role will suit candidates with a proven ability to deliver multiple projects to client expectations, on budget, on schedule, and to an expected level of quality. It is important to demonstrate strong editorial and rewriting skills, an ability to critically analyse technical content and research findings, and manage a publication production process.

About the company

BSI is the UK’s National Standards Body, but we are much more than that. We are an international organization that tackles the problems businesses have by leading the development and embedding of best practices. We help companies access new markets, accelerate innovation, become more resilient and sustainable, and build trusted customer relationships.

Standards protect and create trust, but they are only one aspect of our work. Ensuring conformity with standards and regulatory frameworks accelerates our client's ability to improve and grow. Our consulting expertise and insights create a rich environment for innovation. Our work across these interconnected areas unlocks value for clients that is not always apparent when we start.

  • Agree on project scope and schedule with the client and other stakeholders.
  • Manage workload to ensure effective forecasting and timely delivery.
  • Monitor and report on progress towards milestones/targets.
  • Deliver client and stakeholder value by providing high-quality standardization products and services, consistent with BSI’s reputation as a credible independent standards development facilitator.
  • Apply and advise project stakeholders on editing and standards drafting rules, through the critical analysis of technical content, use of editorial and rewriting skills, and application of standards development knowledge.
  • Draft, review, assess, edit, and proofread other standardization services documents, such as domain research, workshops, standards mapping, and standards scoping reports.
  • Effectively manage the relationship with external stakeholders and project suppliers, such as clients, technical authors, consultants, researchers, PAS steering group, PAS review panel, Flex advisory group, Technical Committees, and drafting panels.
  • Comprehensively and effectively manage any client or stakeholder queries.
  • Effectively manage the relationship with internal stakeholders, such as the Standards Development, Sector, and Standards Services teams.

  • Degree level or equivalent experience
  • Extensive experience in technical editing and rewriting
  • Experience in managing multiple projects.
  • Experience in facilitating group work at different corporate levels.
  • Excellent technical editing skills, with the ability to draft content with technical experts.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to authoritatively chair meetings, engage clients and stakeholders, and present confidently to multiple audiences on familiar products and processes.
  • Ability to understand customer requirements and provide an exceptional customer experience.
  • Excellent command of word processing and project management tools, such as Word, Excel, Project, and SAP
  • What we offer!

    BSI offers a competitive total reward package, an independent and varied job in an international environment, flexible working hours, ongoing training, and development with the inclusion of 27-days annual leave, paid sick leave, bank holidays, health insurance, life insurance, pension plan with company contribution, income protection, paid maternity leave, paid paternity leave, paid parental leave, adoption leave, compassionate leave, paid bereavement leave, learning and development opportunities, and a wide range of flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle.
