    Default job background
    Description
    We have a rare opportunity to join Penguin Press as Editorial Director working across non-fiction.

    This opportunity is offered on a 12-month fixed term contract, covering a period of parental leave for a Publishing Director from late August/early September.

    For the right candidate, we would be willing to consider a 4-day working week.
    About Penguin Press

    Penguin Press is a leading publisher of titles ranging from lasting works on economics, science, history and politics to poetry, illustrated books and classics.

    Penguin Press is made up of the Allen Lane, Pelican, Particular Books, Poetry and Penguin Classics imprints.
    This role's remit will primarily be across Allen Lane, with a few titles on Pelican.
    The Opportunity

    This is a fantastic opportunity for a creative, dynamic Editorial Director to project manage a large list of exceptional non-fiction authors.

    Reporting into the Managing Director of Penguin Press, and responsible for line managing three members of the editorial team, this role's primary responsibility will be to ensure the best-in-class publishing of the existing list, which has a focus on science, nature, psychology, economics and both narrative and ideas-driven non-fiction.

    You can expect to be working with academics, journalists and experts, including authors like David Spiegelhalter, Thomas Halliday, Lindsey Fitzharris, Ha-Joon Chang, Nate Silver and Gaia Vince.

    You'll also be responsible for overseeing new projects from existing authors and being the voice of these books across the division; there may be a possibility of select commissioning for the right candidate.

    You'll liaise with internal departments including marketing, publicity, rights and sales and provide outstanding author care.
    Candidate Profile

    The following qualities are essential:
    A proven track record in editing and publishing non-fiction
    An interest in a wide range of ideas- and narrative-driven non-fiction, from psychology to tech, science to economics
    Exceptional and proven author care
    ~ Line management experience and confidence acting as a mentor and guide.
