I was part of a busy journal production department at SAGE Publications. I held various roles within the SAGE journals production team, over the years. My final position was that of Senior Project Editor, a role which enabled me to continue to gain hands-on experience working with the journal content, but also allowed me to work on several different department and business critical projects. I possess good problem solving and communication skills and work well individually or as part of a team. I was always keen to help my production colleagues and share my experience and knowledge.I found the academic publishing industry to be challenging and fast paced. There are always new opportunities for an individual to develop and this is essential as the market is changing dramatically. Plan S is driving a surge in open access publication and companies are adapting quickly to offer their authors the most convenient route to open access publishing. I found being part of SAGE’s drive towards increasing the amount of open access content it publishes to be exhilarating and informative.I also feel very lucky to have been able to work closely with the legal and research integrity teams at SAGE and it has sparked a personal interest in publishing ethics. I helped to create and maintain best practice documents for the company, provide publishing ethics training (with a focus on production) and offered a production perspective on a range of publishing ethics-based queries and policies. Expectations from authors, editors, readers and the industry are always evolving, and I found it exciting to take part in these discussions.Skills:* Keen eye for detail* Process improvement* Focused on budgets and timeliness* Strong stakeholder management* Adaptable relationship management and influencing skills* Builds trusted advisor relationships* Flexible to challenges* Confident using the Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe annotation tools and Adobe pitstop* Confident using Confluence* Experience of HTML
