Our client is an adult non-fiction, independent publisher based in London. They have been successfully publishing globally for over 40 years.

They are now looking to recruit either a Senior Editor or Editorial Director for a 3-6 month fixed term contract, so we are looking for someone who is available at fairly short notice if possible.

Dependent on experience, the client will offer a competitive salary from £40k for a Senior Editor and from £45k for an Editorial Director.

They offer benefits including:

Flexible working - with no set days for office working, but also nice offices in the city of London with space for you to work from.
35 hour working week.
20 days holiday + Bank holiday.
Contributory pension scheme.

In this role:

You will be managing a Junior Editor and will be able to demonstrate good mentoring and people management skills to allow them to continue to develop in their role.
We are looking for someone who is excellent at author management and has successfully worked on and published multiple books within non-fiction. Our client is particularly strong in narrative non-fiction, although is very open in backgrounds.
Working alongside the Publicity Director and Sales Director as a senior member of the team, presenting ideas for future front list and delivering on projects in the publishing schedule.
As part of a small business, you will also be collaborating on other projects and colleagues, for example the catalogue, so we are looking for someone who is happy to help on different projects and someone who can demonstrate being a great team player!

The interview process will be two stages, and you will meet the MD and owner as well as the Publicity and Sales Directors in the second stage.

Our client is really open to location, but you must be based in the UK with the right to work.
