This role involves working closely with the head of design, editorial, production and sales colleagues to develop and deliver impressive new cover and internal book designs.

To be considered for this vacancy you must have a minimum of 3 years of experience in publishing, be self-motivated, demonstrate a genuine love for book design, and show strong market awareness. You will have a passion for design, and finding creative solutions, as well as being highly proficient in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. You will be organised, deadline-driven, and good at building strong working relationships. Confident communication and interpersonal skills are essential. This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to help develop some exceptional books.
