Job Summary
The Assistant Editor (AE) provides support for both the Editorial (Acquisitions) and Production Departments, performing tasks related to manuscript workflows from the former to the latter.

The AE provides support to the production editors on individual book projects and coordinates reprint production for the department. In addition, the AE coordinates the endorsements process across departments.

Consequence of Error/Judgement
The Assistant Editor is an ambassador for the Press and needs to establish and maintain excellent relationships with external stakeholders. Failure to do so could reflect badly on UBC Press and its reputation as an author-focused, highly professional, and responsive publisher.
Additionally, the Assistant Editor is responsible for some tasks relating directly to the production quality of books produced by UBC Press. A lack of attention to detail at any stage of the editorial production process could affect sales of a book or damage the reputation of the Press.
