    Description

    Closing date: 1st May 2024

    Salary: £26,500 (+bonus +benefits)

    Location: The role will be based at our London office, Carmelite House, with a blend of in-office (3 days per week or more) and home working.

    We're seeking an ultra-organised multitasker to join our team and assist in commissioning and acquiring exciting new projects.

    Octopus publish books for everyone. We love to enlighten, nourish, entertain and most of all inspire readers and listeners everywhere. We're a leading publisher of non-fiction books, working to publish exciting, market-leading books across our many unique imprints, including Philip's maps and guides.

    Octopus is a division of Hachette, one of the largest publishing groups in the UK, with 12 publishing divisions and over 60 imprints. Everyone here is proud to be in the business of opening doors and minds.

    You will be a key member of Aster, Gaia, Godsfield and Hamlyn, providing essential administrative and editorial assistance during every stage of the commissioning and acquisition process – from the development of concepts and the creation of pitches, through origination, publication and beyond.

    Your role will support new ideas, original commissions, exciting acquisitions, IP and backlist projects, reformats and digital editions across our programme. There will be nitty-gritty day-to-day detail, and opportunities to learn, develop and stretch your technical, commercial and creative muscles.

    You'll work directly with the commissioning team, departments throughout Octopus and with colleagues across Hachette as required – and you'll play an important part in our external relationships, liaising directly with key partners from authors and agents to brands and organisations.

    Who we're looking for

  • You love books, language and communicating on the page and elsewhere with precision, clarity and flair.
  • You are bright, upbeat, curious and 'can-do'; an ultra-organised multitasker, flexible, capable and keen to deliver meticulous work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Highly numerate and comfortable with the data, systems, platforms and programmes integral to our work.
  • Keen to position books effectively and help sell them successfully.
  • A real enthusiast for non-fiction in general and the genres in which this team specialise in particular.
  • Hungry to learn and grow. What we offer

    Our staff are our greatest asset, and our benefits reflect this:

  • 28 annual leave days per year, increases to 29 days after 2 years' service and goes up to 30 days after 5 years' (+ bank holidays)
  • Private medical insurance
  • Generous pension schemes
  • Rent deposit loans
  • 2 community days per year
  • Summer hours (finishing at 1pm on Fridays during the summer months)
  • Retail discounts through Hachette rewards
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Eye care vouchers
  • Wide-ranging training library
  • Development programmes (including mentoring)
  • Up to 70% off book purchases
  • A charity bookshelf
  • 12 Staff-led employee networks that are voluntary, including Gender Balance, Thrive, Pride, All Together, Wellbeing and religious networks
  • Season ticket loans
  • And much more Our commitment

    Hachette employs people on the basis of their abilities. We aim to attract and develop talent from a base as broad as the world of readers we want to reach, with a wide and representative range of age, faith, disability, race, gender, sexuality and socio-economic, regional and cultural backgrounds.
