Job description

Company: Royal Statistical Society
Salary: £28 to 32k pro rata
Location: London/ hybrid

Line manager: RSS Journals Manager


Line management responsibility: None


Term: Permanent, part-time 21 hours per week (flexibility around days and hours worked)

Background:
Our vision is a world where data is at the heart of understanding and decision-making.

Founded in 1834, the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is one of the world’s leading organisations advocating for the importance of statistics and data. We’re a professional body for all statisticians and data scientists – wherever they may live.

We have more than 12,000 individual members in the UK and across the world. As a charity, we advocate for the key role of statistics and data in society, and work to ensure that policy formulation and decision making are informed by evidence for the public good.

We are looking for an outstanding candidate to join the publications team in the Digital and Content department of the Society. Working as part of a friendly, professional team, you will support the Journals Manager who oversees and manages the full journal development and delivery process.

The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society consists of three world leading, peer-reviewed scientific journals of statistics and data science, and we have just launched a new, open access journal – RSS: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. With our 5-year strategy and the focus on impact in all aspects of the Society’s work, this is a great opportunity to get involved in journal delivery and development, and to further develop your experience within journal publishing.

Pension and benefits: Our defined contribution pension scheme can be joined after three months in post. Your contributions of up to 8% of salary will be double matched by the Society (making a maximum contribution by the Society of 16%). A training budget, season ticket loan, cycle to work scheme and employee assistance programme are also available.

Location: The RSS office is in central London and currently open twice a week. We offer flexible working arrangements and office attendance is encouraged but not mandatory depending on the role. In person attendance for certain meetings is required (including all staff/team meetings and governance/committee meetings that take place in person). Limited travel within the UK and internationally may be required.

Working hours: 21 hours per week (pro-rated). Applications for job shares and flexible working will also be considered.

Probation: This post is subject to a six-month probation period.
