    We work with brands from Chanel to Kew Gardens, the Guardian to the BBC, FIFA to Formula 1.
    "I know it's a cliché, but no two days at Welbeck are the same, with such a unique range of titles on all the subjects we love, like music, fashion, sport and cookery. James Empringham, Art Director

    Headline is a division of Hachette UK, and home to the very best of commercial publishing, with authors including Maggie O'Farrell, Matthew Perry, Matthew McConaughey and Oasis.

    Would you thrive on the challenge of creating a new list of commercial lifestyle titles?

    If you're someone with a track record of smart, successful illustrated publishing with a nose for the biggest lifestyle trends and new brand partnerships then we'd love to hear from you.

    You will need the vision to spot publishing opportunities based on global trends and the skills to turn those ideas into visually stunning books with broad appeal.

    Responsible for the running of your list, our new Senior Commissioner will work with the Publishing Director to build and manage a profitable illustrated programme.

    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
    ~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
    ~ Wide-ranging training library
    ~ 12 Staff-led employee networks that are voluntary, including Gender Balance, Thrive, Pride, All Together, Wellbeing and religious networks
    ~ Season ticket loans
    ~ This role can be based at our London or Sheffield office with a blend of in-office (3 days) and homeworking (2 days) per week.

    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.

    The Book Trade Charity offers financial support to people looking to enter the book trade but who may struggle to afford the costs of attending interviews and undertaking junior roles.
