Job description

We are looking for an experienced Publications Editor to join our growing Content Development Team.

The Publications Editor will be responsible for editing and rewriting on book-length publications. In this role, you will be responsible for the assessment and development of national and client-sponsored standards and standardisation documents, that impact people's lives every day. You will help ensure that the document realises its scope and presents the content in the most effective way, meeting the needs of users and other external stakeholders.

You will be working in partnership with our Editorial and Content teams to help ensure the quality of the standardisation documents BSI produces, whilst taking responsibility for the editorial governance of the document.

If you have a proven ability to assess and analyse the purpose of a publication, develop an outline and structure that achieves its goals, then this will be a great role for you. Strong editorial and rewriting skills and an ability to critically analyse technical content are at the core of what we're looking for.

It is also important to demonstrate excellent communication skills, as well as the ability to collaborate, persuade and influence, in order to manage author and stakeholder relationships.

Do you believe the world deserves excellence?

BSI is the UK’s National Standards Body, but we are much more than that. We are an international organisation 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 clients’ 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.

What we offer

We offer a highly competitive starting salary and a bonus with 27 days annual leave with the opportunity to increase this to 30 days, company-paid private medical insurance, an excellent company-contributed pension scheme, and a wide range of flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your life-style. Plus, as we’re situated just above Gunnersbury Tube station it makes for a really easy commute, or you can use the free on-site parking if you’d prefer to drive.

• Demonstrable, hands-on experience in developing and editing market-focussed publications.
