Job Description - Program Manager Content Production and Management (E )
The purpose of this position is the timely and high-quality publication of IEEE SA standards and related content. The incumbent will contribute to the IEEE SA's goal of providing volunteers and authors with best-in-class editorial support and services. This person is primarily responsible for expertise in the standards editing and production process; providing exceptional support to volunteers and authors; and developing and applying a continuous improvement mindset that extends to areas as diverse as tools and software improvements to training volunteers and junior staff.
This position is part of a highly collaborative, effective team.

- Help protect IEEE from liability by ensuring that good standards development practices are understood and followed by program volunteers and that potential legal issues are identified and resolved through collaboration with staff, legal counsel, or designated volunteer committees.
- Establish clear editorial practices that accommodate both the short- and long-term needs of projects and that protect the integrity of approved drafts while ensuring consistency and clarity of content, style, and format. Communicate these practices effectively to content developers, including working groups via presentations, training materials, and webinars.
