2. Job Brief Description

The Executive Publishing Director & Managing Editor serves as the master intellectual architect and creative director for high-stakes client manuscripts. In a business world dominated by disposable social media posts and superficial AI content, this partner leads our Global Authority Book Publishing stream, capturing the authentic voice and hard-earned insights of elite corporate leaders and translating them into commercially viable, legacy-building books.

Operating at the strategic nexus of developmental ghostwriting, rigorous structural editing, intellectual property structuring, and master-level typographic design, the Director oversees the complete journey from raw conceptual discovery to physical book distribution. This partner works directly with founders, C-suite executives, and public policy architects to deliver 100% IP ownership, turnkey print-ready assets, and instant retail availability across more than 40,000 bookstores, corporate libraries, and academic networks worldwide.

(Sourced directly from the DADYMINDS Unit Employee Skill Set Framework)

Primary Hard & Technical Competencies

Executive Ghostwriting & Developmental Editing (Skill #2): Elite ability to capture the authentic voice of C-suite leaders and founders, organizing raw strategic insight into structured, compelling long-form narratives and business playbooks.

Advanced Pre-Press Typography & Editorial Design (Skill #3): Production-grade typesetting and layout design in Adobe InDesign CC, including master page grid architecture, font hierarchy, kerning, micro-typography, and pre-flight print separation.

Global Distribution Metadata Engineering & POD API Operations (Skill #6): Precision management of ONIX data feeds, BISAC/Thema subject categorization, keyword algorithms, and print-on-demand fulfillment pipelines.

Intellectual Property Structuring & Copyright Licensing (Skill #8): Securing sovereign author-retention contracts, international trademark alignments, Library of Congress filings, and territorial rights syndication while ensuring clients retain 100% IP ownership.

Enterprise Workflow & Automation Architecture (Skill #9): Orchestrating multi-stage manuscript editorial workflows, version-controlled review cycles, and client sign-offs using Zoho Creator, Zoho Docs, and project pipelines.

Secondary Strategic & Operational Competencies

Diagnostic Client Elicitation & Elite Interviewing (Skill #1): Conducting high-yield, empathetic diagnostic interview sessions with time-constrained executives to draw out proprietary frameworks without causing client fatigue.

Multi-Stakeholder Editorial Project Management (Skill #2): Managing multi-month book publication cycles, coordinating proofreaders, illustrators, legal teams, and executive stakeholders without scope creep.

Strategic Thought-Leadership Positioning (Skill #3): Analyzing market saturation and competitive business literature to carve out uncontested intellectual territory and category authority for the author.

Print Production Sourcing & Material Specifications (Skill #8): Detailed specification of paper weights (GSM), binding types (case laminate, jacketed hardcover, foil stamping, edge guilding, and specialty paper stocks) for bespoke executive editions.

Content Atomization & Derivative Asset Packaging (Skill #6): Breaking down a 250+ page monograph into executive briefs, keynote frameworks, LinkedIn series, and internal corporate training modules.

Manuscript Architecture & Ghostwriting: Conduct elite interview series and developmental structural editing to draft, write, and refine executive monographs, business playbooks, and organizational memoirs.

Turnkey Editorial Curation: Direct the end-to-end editorial pipeline—including developmental passes, line editing, copyediting, index generation, and pre-flight proofreading.

Pre-Press Design & Aesthetic Direction: Oversee cover art direction and master interior grid typography using Adobe InDesign CC, meeting exact offset and IngramSpark print standards.

Global Rights, ISBN & Catalog Registration: Manage global ISBN pool allocation, barcode generation, Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) assignments, and copyright registrations.

IP Transfer & Production Package: Deliver complete, sovereign intellectual property transfer to the client alongside validated master print files, ePub assets, and audiobook-ready scripts.

Stream Leadership: Serve as lead consulting partner for the Global Authority Book Publishing stream, mentoring internal editors, typesetters, and editorial project managers.

Proven portfolio of commercially published non-fiction books, business monographs, or executive thought-leadership publications.

B. Professional Experience

5+ years of senior editorial leadership experience within premium trade publishing houses, executive ghostwriting agencies, or elite management consulting publication wings.

Track record of successfully managing complete book production lifecycles—from concept elicitation to global print distribution.

Demonstrable experience collaborating directly with Fortune 500 executives, successful entrepreneurs, institutional chairs, and public figures.

Typesetting & Design Suites: Advanced mastery of Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro DC Preflight).

Global Distribution Platforms: Advanced operational knowledge of IngramSpark Enterprise, Amazon KDP, Bowker Identifier Services, and CoreSource.

Workflow Automation & Collaboration: Zoho One Suite (Zoho Creator, Zoho Docs, Zoho Projects) or equivalent enterprise editorial management software.

D. Mindset & Personality Attributes

Empathetic Diagnostic Listener: Exceptional ability to actively listen, interpret implicit meaning, and translate raw conversational brilliance into structured literary excellence.

Absolute Discretion: Unflinching integrity and adherence to strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and IP security.

6. Why Join DADYMINDS? (Partner Value Proposition)

Philanthropic Legacy: Profits generated by the publishing unit directly fund global education chapters through the DADYMINDS Humanity Foundation and Education Advancement initiatives, transforming corporate literature into tools for social advancement.
