Diversity and inclusion at OUP
Our aim is to create a community where everyone can belong and thrive. We are a global organisation.

We’re committed to providing an inclusive organisation for all colleagues, irrespective of their background.
We embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the way we work, to ensure all of our people have fair access to opportunities that enable them to thrive and develop their careers.

Can you tell us what you do at OUP?
I’m the Executive Editor for lexicography in World English. That means I’m in charge of projects that involve varieties of English spoken around the world beyond British and American English. We’re best known for the Oxford English Dictionary, but I also work on lexical datasets that are licensed to Google, for example.
What’s your proudest achievement at OUP?
My overall work because it can really make a difference in people's lives. It matters to people that the way they speak English is represented in a dictionary of such great renown.
Why would someone choose to work here?
You’ll be appreciated for your skill set from the very beginning, no matter where you are in the hierarchy of the department or company. And you’ll be listened to.
Name one thing someone would find surprising about your role.
You don't necessarily have to be a word lover. I wouldn't say that I love words. But I love learning about words. And I love what words can tell me about people and about different cultures.
In three words, how would you describe OUP?
A place of learning, open-minded and innovative.

ELT Area Manager, Czech Republic and Slovakia
Can you tell us what you do at OUP?
Currently, I’m the Area Manager in the ELT (English Language Teaching) department, but I started at OUP as an Educational Representative in 2008. We work closely with teachers and schools, as well as putting on promotional events and marketing OUP’s books. I support and guide our team, encouraging them to come up with new ideas around how we work.
How has OUP evolved since you first joined?
OUP is a very different company from when I started. Education is always changing, and we’re constantly evolving so we can help teachers in new ways. Luckily, it’s still a lot of fun!
What kind of mindset is necessary for your type of role?
You have to be very flexible because each day is different. When you’re on the road visiting schools, there can be long days and lots of travel. You also have to enjoy talking to people and presenting in front of large groups.
What do you like most about your role?
When I started, digital platforms for English language teaching didn’t really exist. But now, we get to guide teachers around the world, supporting them as they help their students.
In three words, how would you describe OUP?
A culture of trust, responsibility and collaboration.
