Wiley Publishing Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:

We believe in bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and the drive to transform knowledge into impact. Here, your curiosity fuels progress, your voice shapes innovation, and your ambition helps redefine what's possible within science and learning. We are a culture that obsesses over impact, challenges, and drives what's next to power infinite possibilities for our customers, colleagues and society at large.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Partnership Manager to develop new partnerships with medical societies, scientific publishers, and instrument developers across Wiley's Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) work. Many of the world's most important clinical measurement instruments sit with societies and authors who lack the commercial reach to support adoption at the scale their work deserves. This role is about identifying those partners, opening conversations, and bringing them into a partnership with Wiley that gets their instruments into wider use, properly supported, and commercially sustainable. The role reports to the Senior Director, Clinical Outcome Assessments.

Job Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritise societies, publishers, and instrument developers whose portfolios would benefit from wider commercial reach, building a pipeline of new partnership opportunities.
• Lead first conversations with prospective partners, listening to what they want for their instruments and presenting Wiley's value proposition: the global commercial network, scientific support, and operational infrastructure to drive adoption.
• Develop partnership proposals and commercial models tailored to each partner, working with Wiley Legal on terms that are fair, transparent, and structured for the long term.
• Negotiate and close new partnerships, taking the relationship from initial interest through to signed agreement and live collaboration.
• Coordinate instrument onboarding alongside the Product and Delivery Manager, Scientific Affairs team, and our strategic delivery partner, ensuring partners see their instruments handled professionally from day one.
• Maintain ongoing partner relationships, including regular review meetings, transparent reporting on adoption and revenue, and a clear feedback loop on how their instruments are being used.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years in business development, partnership management, or society and association relationship management.
• Demonstrated track record of opening, developing, and closing new partnerships.
• Comfortable with hunter-style business development, including identifying targets, opening cold conversations, and managing pipeline.
• Ability to manage multiple partner relationships simultaneously across different stages of development.
• Strong relationship development skills, including the ability to build trust with senior society and publisher stakeholders, scientific authors, and committee leadership.
• Commercial acumen combined with the judgement to recognise when partnership decisions need to be made on non-commercial grounds.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills for partner-facing engagement.

Preferred Qualifications

• Postgraduate degree in life sciences, business, or a publishing-related field.
• Experience in scientific or medical publishing, particularly in society partnerships.
• Genuine appreciation for the role of medical societies and clinical authors as the originators of the science.
• Understanding of how clinical measurement instruments are developed, validated, and adopted.
• Familiarity with the pharmaceutical industry or clinical research environment.
• Working knowledge of Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) instruments and their role in clinical trials.
• Additional European languages an advantage for engaging with international societies.
