- Actively listening to author and team concerns, promoting creative and collaborative problem-solving, and managing the resolution of product-related and project-related issues.

- At times, providing quality assurance and feedback on deliverables.
- Resourcing project work to available staff, contractors, and vendors (e.g. hiring editorial freelancers and booking printers).
- Liaising with accounting to help manage project costs and client invoicing.
- Staying informed of cross-departmental operations as they pertain to project planning.
