About the role

Yaqeen Institute seeks an experienced Developmental Editor to work closely with authors on long-form, non-fiction manuscripts. The role requires sharpening structure, tone, and argument while preserving the author's voice and maintaining strong engagement with Islamic scholarship. The editor will coordinate with scholars and the book team to ensure rigorous citations and transliteration standards, and to incorporate peer-review feedback. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
