Our Team
Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) is a top‑ranked academic journal with a global audience of business and management scholars focused on the study of organizations. ASQ is published by Sage and maintains a diverse editorial team of scholars from institutions worldwide.

Temporary Associate Managing Editor Opportunity
While responsibilities vary, the Associate Managing Editor co‑manages the journal’s online peer‑review process for manuscripts, engaging with advanced research to determine fit, communicating initial assessments to the editor in chief, identifying potential conflicts of interest, and maintaining strict confidentiality to support an anonymous review process. In collaboration with the managing editor, the Associate Managing Editor provides developmental editing for all ASQ articles, including copy editing, proofreading, author liaison, and final approval of edits to ensure clarity, tone, and accessibility for a global audience. The Associate Managing Editor also independently manages the book review program, supervises editorial book review teams, leads developmental and copy editing of book reviews, and oversees publication production.

Additionally, the role involves developing and improving journal workflow processes, coordinating communication among authors and stakeholders, managing operating budgets, and coordinating events such as online symposia, conference meetings, and workshops. The Associate Managing Editor leads projects with editorial staff and provides guidance on editing tools and manuscript management systems. Other administrative duties include contracting editors, processing procurement for payments, generating performance reports, and supporting the editorial team.

This is a temporary, benefits‑eligible, six‑month full‑time position with the possibility of transitioning into a permanent role. The position is fully remote, with a potential hybrid work schedule. No visa sponsorship or relocation assistance is available for this position.
