Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India PETER LANG Group AG Full time ₹ 45,00,000 - ₹ 90,00,000 per year

Peter Lang is an international publishing group specialising in Humanities and Social Sciences. We publish about 1,000+ books every year in German, English, and French, as well as in multiple other languages, from traditional print products to eBooks and Open Access publications.

Back in 1970, the Swiss entrepreneur and philanthropist Peter Lang founded his academic publishing company in his own name. In over fifty years since then, the company has undergone growth and change and overcome many challenges as an independent, internationally focused business. We are now a dynamic, entrepreneurial group of colleagues working across the globe to deliver excellence in academic publishing.

You will experience an international work environment with lean management. The Peter Lang headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, are the central hub for management and administration. The rest of our team is based in continental Europe, Anglo-American regions, and Asia, with offices in Berlin, Brussels, Chennai, New York, and Oxford, and supporting locations in Istanbul, Madrid, Vienna, and Warsaw.

We are seeking a professional indexer to create high-quality, reader-friendly indexes for scholarly manuscripts in the arts and humanities. The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background in these fields, combined with hands-on expertise in indexing tools and best practices.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create and refine subject and name indexes for academic manuscripts.
  • Ensure relevance and selectivity in index terms, avoiding over-indexing or inclusion of trivial mentions.
  • Use Microsoft Word's indexing functions to embed and manage index entries.
  • Structure indexes logically, using cross-references, subentries, and hierarchies where appropriate.
  • Liaise with authors to confirm terminology, spelling conventions, and scope of coverage.
  • Deliver indexes on time, in publisher-specified formats, ensuring usability and professional quality.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

  • 3–5 years of professional indexing experience, ideally with academic or scholarly publishers.
  • Strong background in arts and humanities subjects (degree or demonstrable subject familiarity preferred).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word indexing functions (marking entries, managing cross-references, generating indexes).
  • Proven track record of producing relevant, user-friendly indexes (not mechanical term extraction).
  • Ability to follow detailed style guides and publishing conventions.
  • Strong attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to interpret complex scholarly texts.
  • Excellent communication skills and reliability in meeting deadlines.

Desired Qualifications & Skills:

  • Familiarity with Adobe InDesign indexing workflows (embedded vs. stand-alone index creation).
  • Knowledge of or interest in automation tools (macros, scripts, or AI-assisted approaches) to streamline indexing processes.
  • Membership of professional associations such as the Society of Indexers (SI) or American Society for Indexing (ASI).
  • Experience working with multilingual manuscripts or non-English indexing conventions.

Location: remote, CET time zone

Employment rate: 100%

If you are ready to contribute to the excellence of the Peter Lang Group and thrive in a dynamic publishing environment, we invite you to apply. Join us in shaping the future of academic publishing

We are looking forward to meeting you
