About Frontiers:

At Frontiers, our purpose is simple yet ambitious: to make science open. We believe open science empowers the global scientific community to accelerate discovery and develop the solutions needed for healthy lives on a healthy planet.

We are one of the world’s largest and most influential open-access research publishers. Every article we publish is peer-reviewed and quality-certified, ensuring research is accessible to everyone, everywhere. To date, Frontiers research has been viewed over 4 billion times, demonstrating the real-world impact of science without barriers.

Joining Frontiers means being part of a global, mission-driven organization at the intersection of science, technology, and innovation — working alongside passionate colleagues who care deeply about advancing knowledge for the benefit of society.

About the Institutional Partnerships Team 

Our Institutional Partnerships team is at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry: championing open access and enabling broad, meaningful collaboration with top universities, consortia, libraries, and research organizations. We are building for scale—transforming our traditional B2C strengths into a dynamic B2B strategy. Most importantly, we’re a close-knit, mission-driven team where every voice matters and there’s room to lead from the front. 

Your Key Responsibilities 

  • Serve as the first point of contact for a select group of institutional partners; build relationships, anticipate needs, and deliver a seamless experience. 
  • Drive effective onboarding, retention, and renewals in your portfolio; identify upsell opportunities and support revenue growth. 
  • Monitor engagement data, analyze trends, and propose solutions for improved partner experience. 
  • Maintain accurate records, manage reporting, and handle eligibility verification independently. 
  • Collaborate with internal teams (Publishing, Sales, Product, Finance, Technology) to enhance the partner journey. 
  • Contribute to the creation and continuous improvement of resources, processes, and AI-driven tools. 
  • Triage queries, manage a shared team inbox, and support team-wide knowledge sharing

Job Requirements

  • Experience in account management, customer success, customer support, or relationship management.
  • Background in scholarly publishing, open access, university libraries, or research communications is a plus—but we're equally enthusiastic about candidates eager to transition into this industry.
  • Keen interest in publishing and open science, with strong motivation to learn and grow in this field.
  • Proficient with Salesforce, Excel, and other data analysis/reporting tools.
  • Excellent communicator, adept at presenting ideas and building consensus.
  • Analytical mindset; able to identify trends in data and act on insights.
  • Naturally organized, attention to detail, proactive, and excited to champion change.
  • Solution-focused, positive, and embraces technology and AI to work smarter and scale impact.

Benefits

  • We prioritise office presence and emphasise in-person collaboration, but also offer appropriate adjustments where needed, in line with company policy
  • Extra wellbeing days on top of your annual leave allowance
  • Up to 3 paid volunteering days each year
  • 24/7 confidential Employee Assistance Programme (wellbeing, mental health, legal & financial support)
  • Learning & development support via the Frontiers Learning Hub
  • Competitive local benefits country dependent (e.g. healthcare and pension/retirement provision)
