About Us
The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects, and their practical uses. It has a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes, schools, and other organisations.
Our members have a unique depth and breadth of knowledge about the discipline. The Society’s role is to help unlock and harness the potential of that knowledge.
Our commitment to anyone who studies microbes is “whoever you are, wherever you are, we will amplify your voice”.

About You
The Journals Marketing and Engagement Manager will be dedicated to driving submissions across our six peer-reviewed titles, with particular focus on ensuring that existing Transformative Agreement customers are making use of their Publish and Read deals with us.
Sitting within the Development Opportunities theme, the postholder will deliver on both Marketing and customer engagement goals for the Society. An aptitude for managing both Business to Customer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B) relationships will be crucial to maximise author submissions to our journals and the retention of existing business from institutions.
Supporting the strategic aims of the Society by working closely with the Journals Marketing and Development Lead, the postholder will be confident in researching, planning and executing integrated marketing campaigns to increase submissions from target groups and regions. In addition, the role will be pivotal in the engagement and retention of Publish and Read customers, including providing a compelling case for renewal and supporting the Customer Services Representative in completing the renewals of agreements in peak times.
The postholder will be a proactive self-starter, with the ability both to work independently and collaboratively with colleagues to gather insights and data to inform and implement targeted marketing campaigns. Their primary focus will be to monitor author engagement, particularly in subscribing institutions and in target regions, and to proactively implement marketing communications to improve numbers and secure maximum renewals and retention.
Please note that the organisation operates a hybrid working policy.
