Senior Editor- Humanities

Company Name: Macmillan Education

Job Title: Senior Editor - Humanities

Location: Noida (Sec 2)

Experience- 6+ years

The current Editor has resigned, creating a critical gap in our editorial workflow. Opting for a Senior Editor as this role is essential for ensuring accuracy, consistency and quality across Humanities. We have a robust pub plan next year, so without immediate replacement with a senior editor, project timelines and publishing standards will be compromised. Given the high volume of ongoing work and the need for subject-specific expertise, filling this position promptly is necessary to maintain quality and meet deadlines.
