About the Role:

We are looking for an Associate Publisher to join Wiley’s Cochrane team and contribute to the development and delivery of Cochrane Clinical Answers.

 

Cochrane Clinical Answers are concise, evidence-based summaries derived from Cochrane reviews. Presented in a question-and-answer format using Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome data, they give healthcare professionals accessible and trusted evidence to support informed treatment decisions at the point of care.

 

Working as part of a team of Cochrane Clinical Answers Editors, and with guidance from the Cochrane Clinical Answers Editor-in-Chief, you will manage content through the editorial workflow from initial data extraction to publication. You will work closely with practising clinicians, editorial colleagues, internal teams and external suppliers to ensure that published content is clinically relevant, accurate, consistent and accessible.

 

You will also contribute to the continued development of the product by identifying opportunities to improve editorial workflows, content quality and operational efficiency.

 

Job Responsibilities

• Manage the editorial workflow for assigned Cochrane Clinical Answers from content creation through to publication.
• Extract relevant data from Cochrane reviews, selecting clinically important outcomes and developing clear, evidence-based summaries for healthcare professionals.
• Review and quality-check data extractions and Cochrane Clinical Answers prepared by other editors.
• Assign content to practising clinicians for drafting or clinical review and work with them to ensure the evidence is interpreted and represented accurately.
• Prepare Cochrane Clinical Answers for editorial approval and provide sign-off on content prepared by colleagues.
• Work closely with the Cochrane Clinical Answers Editor-in-Chief to maintain clinical relevance, accuracy and consistency across published content.
• Prepare content for copyediting, respond to editorial queries and complete the final preparation of content for publication.
• Complete the monthly content-selection process.
• Contribute to discussions about product enhancements, content-promotion opportunities and editorial workflow improvements.
• Work with colleagues, internal teams and third-party suppliers to investigate and resolve publication issues or workflow failures.
• Manage monthly invoicing processes and liaise with the Payments team to resolve payment-related queries.
• Monitor and respond to feedback, queries and enquiries from current and prospective Cochrane Clinical Answers contributors.

Required Qualifications

• Experience interpreting and communicating clinical, medical or health-related research.
• The ability to understand research findings and translate complex evidence into clear, concise and accessible content.
• Strong editorial skills, with excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy and consistency.
• Experience managing content or projects through a structured editorial or publishing workflow.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to respond clearly and constructively to editorial and clinical queries.
• Excellent organizational skills, including the ability to manage multiple pieces of content and meet publication deadlines.
• The ability to work collaboratively with editors, practising clinicians and colleagues across different teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate and resolve publishing or workflow issues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with systematic reviews, evidence-based medicine or clinical research.
• Familiarity with Cochrane reviews or Cochrane methodologies.
• An understanding of Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome frameworks.
• Experience working with clinical authors, reviewers or healthcare professionals.
