Description

The role:

We have an exciting opportunity for a Production Controller to join our Cornerstone Production team on a permanent basis.

This role offers a chance to develop a wide range of production skills.

It would equally suit a seasoned assistant looking to step up to controller, or a controller looking for a fresh challenge or to broaden their skillset.

This is a hybrid role with a mix of working from home and working from the office based on Vauxhall Bridge Road in London.

Working patterns can be discussed further at interview stage.

What you'll bring:

We're looking for a Production Controller with good experience of mono book production, and colour would be an advantage, as well as a range of formats and pre-press and digital workflows.

You'll work closely and collaboratively with internal teams across Editorial, Design, Sales, Inventory, Finance as well as external suppliers, to identify and implement solutions for manufacturing, costing, and scheduling challenges.

You're used to managing a busy workload with a track record of successfully delivering to deadlines while meeting the expectations of multiple stakeholders.

You'll have excellent attention to detail and will be able to demonstrate a calm, positive and flexible approach to your work - even when you're under pressure.

You'll be a team player but equally happy to work independently on your own initiative.

The team:

Cornerstone publish a broad range of titles across fiction and non-fiction, commercial and literary, and are home to an exciting array of authors including Taylor Jenkins-Reid, Robert Harris, Stormzy, Hafsa Zayyan, James Patterson, Richard Powers and Georgette Heyer.

Here, you'll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success.

Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.

Salary:

Circa £30,000 depending on how your skills and experience align to the role, plus benefits.

Our employees are the heart of our business.

We have a range of benefits to reflect our commitment to our employees, some of which are:

27 days paid holiday entitlement in year one (plus bank holidays), increasing a day each year up to 30 days
Medical cover
