Experienced Rights Professional- Maternity Cover

 

Central London

 

 

Faber and Faber is one of the UK’s best-known and most respected independent book publishers. The Rights Department plays a key strategic role in the company’s continued success and growth. We are now looking for a Senior Rights professional to help cover our Rights Director’s maternity leave, to start from January 2016.

 

We’re looking for a talented and motivated individual to be responsible for handling Adult and Children's titles via Faber’s co-agented territories worldwide.

 

This is a busy and fast-moving role in which you will be expected to identify and exploit sales opportunities, attend international book fairs, negotiate deals, maintain excellent relationships with existing and potential partners and manage significant relationships with our Literary Estates.

 

To succeed, you should be a recently-established Rights Manager or an Executive looking for a chance to move up; whatever your experience you will need to have excellent collaborative and communication skills in order to manage both internal and external expectations plus, strong negotiation skills. The ability to work autonomously, using initiative to make calculated decisions, is essential. You will also require proven experience working with co-agents around the world.

 

This role will be offered on a temporary contract for a minimum of ten months.

 

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for the right individual. To apply, please email your CV together with a covering letter to Lizzie Bishop - Rights Manager & Head of Children's Rights and Lisa Baker - Rights Director at Rightsapplication@faber.co.uk
