About Harvard Business Publishing

What is Harvard Business Publishing?

Harvard Business Publishing is the company behind Harvard Business Review — plus the corporate-learning programs, case collections and education products that carry Harvard Business School's ideas to the world. Founded in 1994 as a not-for-profit, wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvard University (HBR itself dates to 1922), its roughly 800 people span editorial, product, technology, marketing and learning design.

Where will I work?

Boston headquarters or remote: current openings include Remote-US roles alongside Boston, Netherlands, UAE and India positions — a genuinely international publisher.

What is the HBP team like?

Editors, learning designers, technologists and go-to-market teams working where management theory meets practice — with the institutional stability of Harvard behind them and a product read by millions of leaders.

How we verified this listing

Fourteen of fifteen live postings on HBP's Workday tenant carry the wellness block verbatim, down to its own punctuation: "education reimbursement and early-release Summer Fridays!" There's a pleasing coherence in the publisher of the management canon practicing a management-literature staple. The employer here is Harvard Business Publishing — the not-for-profit Harvard subsidiary founded in 1994 that operates HBR, corporate learning and the case business — roughly 800 people, distinct from the university's tens of thousands. Boston-anchored with genuine Remote-US roles and international positions, it offers something rare in publishing: institutional stability, a global brand, and a summer schedule written into nearly every job it posts.
