Career Opportunities with Americas Test Kitchen

America’s Test Kitchen seeks a talented Senior Editor to join a team of passionate cooks, editors, and designers. This person will manage development of a variety of cookbook projects created in collaboration with the kitchen team and other authors, as well as books repurposed from the test kitchen’s archives. If you’re a top-notch, detail-oriented editor; an engaging writer; and have a strong knowledge of (and passion for) food and cooking, this job may be for you.

In this role, you will help to establish a vision and direction for your books, assemble and edit the manuscript, and oversee the production of the book from start to finish, working closely with the editorial director, food editors or authors, and designers. The senior editor must be an advocate for the home cook, ensuring that the recipes are practical and clear and fulfill the vision for the book.

Responsibilities :

  • Develop a proposal and establish an editorial vision for each of your projects, working closely with the Editorial Director and Executive Food Editor.
  • Assemble a manuscript from new and existing material, editing to ensure material conforms to the book’s vision as well as for overall style and consistency, and writing new copy as needed. Plan out and create a thorough introductory chapter and other editorial features.
  • Work closely with test cooks and food editors during recipe development—participating in tastings, editing the test cooks’ recipes and writing, and managing the style guide for your books.
  • Collaborate with your book’s designer, proposing ideas for covers and photography and communicating a workable vision for an interior design. Put together an art program and work with the photo team to ensure photo direction is conveyed well in advance. Oversee and track all photo and illustration work.
  • Manage the production process for your books, ensuring all the moving parts come together on schedule and on budget, and building in appropriate time for review by multiple parties, working closely with the design and production teams to maintain effective communication. Work with the copyeditor, proofreader, and indexer, reviewing their queries and ensuring all changes are made correctly.
  • Prepare sales-related materials including TI sheets, cover copy, launch presentations, and web copy.

Experience :

  • 5-plus years of experience in cookbook publishing or comparable editorial experience.
  • A strong and practical knowledge of cooking, food history, and science.
  • Excellent editorial and writing skills and the ability to mentor others working on a book so that their editorial work meets the necessary standards.
  • The ability to collaborate and work with a diverse group of talent in multiple departments.
  • Equal parts creativity and an obsession for accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Good organizational skills and the ability to work way ahead so that all the moving parts of a book are completed on time.
  • The ability to work effectively using collaborative software tools such as Google docs, sheets, and slides; K4 / InCopy; and Asana.
  • This position is located in our Boston, MA office in the Seaport district. It is the expectation that the person in this role will work a hybrid schedule of 3 days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday) in the office and 2 days per week remotely.
