Publishing Client Success Consultant
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 9, 2026.
About the Role
- This mid-level role is for a consultant who has moved past the basics and is ready to manage a fuller portfolio of institutional and journal clients with less day-to-day oversight.
- Accounts at this level often include Premier-tier institutions with higher-touch expectations, sometimes including in-person engagement, alongside a steady base of established journal relationships.
- You will take on new client onboarding from the ground up when it comes your way, and you will be trusted to resolve most issues, technical or relational, without needing a manager in the loop.
- This role also suits someone whose interests lean toward account management, project management, or specialized publishing work, since much of the day-to-day builds those skills.
Responsibilities
- Manage a portfolio of institutional and journal clients end to end: onboarding, ongoing support, and renewal conversations.
- Lead new client launches independently, including Premier accounts with higher service expectations.
- Guide editors and librarians through editorial workflow questions and platform best practices, drawing on solid working knowledge of academic publishing.
- Troubleshoot technical issues directly, including HTML/CSS work, before escalating.
- Coordinate with Sales and Account Management colleagues on client status and account health, and flag concerns clearly and early.
- Support and share knowledge with entry-level colleagues as opportunities arise.
Requirements
- Fluent in Arabic and English, comfortable moving between day-to-day client conversations and more formal written communication.
- Solid, hands-on experience in academic publishing or a closely related customer-facing field.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple client accounts independently, with sound judgment about when to escalate versus resolve directly.
- Working knowledge of HTML/CSS.
- Around 3 to 4 years in a customer-facing role, ideally including exposure to academic publishing, Editorial Manager, or Digital Commons.
- Bachelor's degree preferred.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with XML and APIs.
- Interest in AI tools and how they are being applied to editorial and research integrity workflows.
- Interest in growing toward account management, project management, or a mentorship-oriented path.
