Using your expert knowledge of a book or author, you’ll help our sales team bring retailers on board so they champion the book from word go. You’ll also connect with external partners, exploring opportunities to promote our stories together, and take an active lead on the department’s influencer engagement strategy.

You’ll bring bags of enthusiasm and ideas to each campaign, using your initiative to make the most of your budget, however great or small. You will be an excellent and versatile copy-writer with keen developing digital skills including Photoshop and website CMS. You’ll also have a knack for social media, not just understanding how it works, but what makes people sit up and listen.

It goes without saying you’ll have a passion for books, and you’ll always be identifying great features which you think readers will really respond to.

With solid marketing experience under your belt, you might be an assistant looking for your next step, or you may be at the rung above and ready for a new challenge.

Please apply with your CV and cover letter no later than Friday 12th July.
