Oxford University Press was established in the earliest days of printing and throughout our 500-year history, we have always been home to the inquisitive, the passionate, and the ambitious. We welcome new ideas and fresh thinking and offer the opportunity for individuals and teams to make their mark.
We are constantly exploring innovations in the development and delivery of world-class content, and engage with academics and educators around the world to find new and better ways to make information accessible. With a presence in more than 50 countries and millions of customers around the world, an idea launched at OUP can have a global impact.
Like the University of Oxford of which we are a part of, we are committed to uncompromising standards, freedom of expression, and the enrichment of lives through education. We are a charitable organisation and as such prioritise ethical practice; from the strong relationships we build with authors and teachers through to how we reinvest our surplus.
At OUP, our mission is to further the University of Oxford’s objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. We recognize the positive impact we have on the world around us, and the transformative power of the products and services we create.
Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we cannot achieve our mission. They make us who we are; they enable us to support millions of people across the world, and they help us to continually evolve and explore new opportunities.
We pride ourselves on being an ethical, fair, and considerate organisation—it’s the backbone of who we are. But we also want to attract and work with people who inspire us to push boundaries, who bring different perspectives, who bring drive and passion to their work, and who will help us to deliver excellence.

At OUP, we care not only about whether we are achieving our mission, but how we are achieving it. Expressed in the OUP Qualities, we have identified a set of characteristics that describe the behaviours we all need to cultivate and live out every day in order to continue to be successful as a business in the future. These behaviours encourage us to explore, and challenge us to work across boundaries. They set a high standard; a combination of learning and curiosity which will better inform the decisions we make and the impact we have.
Motivation
We are passionate about making a positive impact. Externally, we are driven to deliver our mission and convinced of the transformative power of education and research. Internally, we strive for high productivity and seek to make the most of exciting possibilities.
Mindset
We understand and engage with our external global environment. We are curious and inquisitive about the future; we make connections with people, ask questions, innovate and explore. We are open to new challenges and opportunities, and continually look to develop ourselves in order to increase our impact and effectiveness.
Core skills
As communicators we are confident, clear, and articulate. We flourish in a team environment and apply knowledge and experience to make good decisions, even in difficult conditions.
Values
Above all else we prize honesty, respect and resilience. We are ethical, fair and courageous; thoughtful, considerate and inclusive; determined, optimistic and resourceful.

As a global publisher, we make a difference to millions of people every year by creating powerful content, products, and services that share knowledge, spark ideas, and inspire progress. Through our work, we shape the thinking of tomorrow and help to drive progress in society.
But to achieve this, we have to reflect, respect, and represent the world around us, and appreciate that one size does not fit all. That’s why we are committed to becoming a more inclusive employer with a more diverse workforce—so that OUP is truly a place where people feel that they belong; where anyone can thrive; and where our people feel empowered to be themselves and progress with us.
We have three diversity and inclusion goals that shape our approach to how we work:
Capability: We take steps to ensure that all colleagues are aware of, sensitive to, and continue to learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion.
Context: We have policies and processes that enhance diversity and embed inclusion throughout the whole employee lifecycle at OUP.
Connect: We collaborate with diverse colleagues, partners, and authors to help create innovative content and solutions.
We have several committees focused on specific areas:
