Developmental Editor information

What is a developmental editor?

A developmental editor is a professional who works with authors to shape the overall structure, content, and flow of a manuscript. They focus on big-picture elements such as plot, character development, pacing, organization, and clarity, rather than correcting grammar or punctuation. Developmental editors provide feedback and suggestions to help authors strengthen their work, often collaborating through multiple drafts. Their goal is to help the author produce a compelling and coherent final manuscript.

What is the difference between Developmental Editor vs Copy Editor?

AspectDevelopmental EditorCopy Editor
Primary FocusBig-picture content development, structure, and overall flowLine-by-line editing, grammar, and style consistency
Skills & CredentialsStrong editing, developmental, and storytelling skills; often a background in writing or editingExcellent grammar, punctuation, and style knowledge; often a background in editing or journalism
Work EnvironmentCollaborates closely with authors and writers during manuscript developmentReviews and refines existing text for clarity and correctness

Developmental Editors focus on shaping the content's structure and overall narrative, while Copy Editors refine the language, grammar, and style. Both roles require strong editing skills but serve different stages of the editing process, making them complementary in publishing workflows.

How does a developmental editor typically collaborate with authors and other editorial team members during the manuscript development process?

Developmental editors work closely with authors, providing constructive feedback on overall structure, content flow, and character development. They often hold regular meetings or exchanges to discuss revisions and clarify the author’s vision, ensuring the manuscript meets both creative and market goals. Collaboration with copy editors, proofreaders, and sometimes project managers is also common, as developmental editors help coordinate the workflow and maintain consistency throughout the editorial process. This teamwork fosters a supportive environment focused on producing the strongest possible manuscript.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a developmental editor?

To thrive as a Developmental Editor, you need a strong command of language, deep understanding of narrative structure, and experience in editing or writing, often supported by a degree in English, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with editing software such as Microsoft Word (with track changes), Adobe Acrobat, and project management tools is typically required. Exceptional communication, critical thinking, and the ability to give constructive feedback help a Developmental Editor guide authors effectively. These skills ensure manuscripts are well-organized, coherent, and compelling, ultimately leading to successful publications.

Job description

This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: Two days in-office.

Development Manager (Full Stack)

Why This Job's a Big Deal

As a leader within our Growth organization, you will own the engineering strategy and execution for the Messaging team - a critical platform that powers how Priceline communicates with its customers across email, SMS, and push channels. Sitting within the Trip Management & Loyalty group, your team is responsible for the full messaging lifecycle: from subscriber opt-in and preference management, to real-time notification delivery, templating, relay, and deliverability insights.

You will lead a full-stack engineering team (Java and Node.js backend, Node/React frontend) building and scaling a suite of microservices that handle millions of messages. Your work directly shapes the reliability, personalization, and compliance of every communication Priceline sends to its customers.

In This Role You Will Get To

  • Lead & Mentor: Manage a high-performing team of 4 FTE Engineers, providing coaching, performance management, and career development.

  • Drive hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development to build deep engineering talent.

  • Technical Execution: Maintain 20% hands-on involvement through code reviews, governance, and technical direction.

  • Platform Innovation: Building a reliable, Priceline-first messaging toolkit with reusable common components and a non-technical stakeholder editor experience.

  • Leverage AI to intelligently classify and block off-brand or non-critical email communications.

  • Expand customer opt-in channels (email and SMS) across Hotel, Air, and mobile product surfaces.

  • Operational Excellence: Enforce SDLC discipline, including 2-week sprints, grooming, retrospectives, and demos.

  • Strategic Collaboration: Collaborate with peer engineering teams in Trip Management & Loyalty and across Priceline's broader platform to drive cross-system integrations.

Who You Are

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent practical experience.

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience, with a proven track record of hiring, mentoring, coaching, and performance management of full-stack engineering teams.

  • Full-Stack Expertise: Strong backend proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with solid Node.js experience. Frontend familiarity with front-end frameworks like React.js.

  • Distributed Systems: Proven experience designing and scaling high-throughput, event-driven systems using Kafka, REST, and GraphQL.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Comfortable with GKE, GCP services (Firestore, CloudSQL, GCS, BigQuery), CI/CD pipelines, and Git.

  • Vendor Integrations: Experience managing or integrating with third-party messaging platforms (e.g., email delivery providers, SMS gateways, marketing automation tools).

  • AI/ML Awareness: Familiarity with integrating ML-based scoring or classification services into production systems is a plus.

  • Illustrated history of living the values necessary to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability and Trust.

  • The Right Results, the Right Way is not just a motto at Priceline; it's a way of life. Unquestionable integrity and ethics is essential.
