Description

What you'll be doing
Hodder & Stoughton Publishers have an exciting opportunity for an extremely talented and creative Deputy Art Director.

The role will be varied and you will work across all of our imprints, but you will have specific responsibility for the creative vision for our non-fiction imprints: Catalyst, Hodder Press, Hodder Non-Fiction and Yellow Kite.

Alongside the Art Director, you will have managerial responsibility for Hodder & Stoughton's internal design team.

You will work alongside senior colleagues across the business to develop author and brand identities, and you will be responsible for the aesthetic vision for our publishing.

The art and marketing departments will be working closely together for the first time, with both teams reporting in to our new Creative and Marketing Director, to ensure that we put creativity at the very heart of all of our publishing.

You will be encouraged and supported to explore creative and strategic ideas.

Who we are looking for

You will be a dynamic and self-starting creative with significant experience in design - either within the publishing industry or elsewhere in the creative arts.

You will be energised by the whole creative process, and constantly challenge yourself and your team to deliver stand-out, market-leading cover designs.

You will bring significant managerial experience to the role and will be a great mentor for your design colleagues, helping them to deliver their best work.

What we offer
Our staff are our greatest asset and our benefits reflect this.

In addition to 28 days annual leave days per year + bank holidays, we have an extensive list of benefits that include:
a wide-ranging training library, development programmes including mentoring, Cycle to Work vouchers, Private Medical Insurance, eye care vouchers, up to 70% off book purchases, a charity book shelf, 2 community days per year, many employee networks to join, summer hours (finishing at 1pm on Fridays during the summer months), season ticket loans, rent deposit loans, generous pension schemes and much more

The role will be based at our London office, Carmelite House, with a blend of in-office (3 days) and homeworking (2 days) per week.

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.

If you are shortlisted and need us to make any adjustments to help you attend for interview, please let us know.

Who we are and what we do
