Oxford University Press operates a 500-year-old academic and educational publishing business across research, textbooks, language teaching, and professional content. The organization is mid-market sales and marketing-heavy (31 roles open, 17 in sales, 14 in marketing), with active projects spanning teacher networks, journal launches, and textbook adoption — typical of a publisher managing portfolio expansion while navigating the shift from print to digital. Tech stack is enterprise-traditional (SAP, Salesforce, Adobe, Office 365) with no active major adopts or replacements, consistent with established institutional IT patterns.
