Assistant Comic Book Buyer

We are searching for an Assistant to the Book Buyer, a customer-facing role that needs a good mix of people skills, knowledge, attention to detail and common sense. Applicants should demonstrate a good, broad knowledge of the comics medium, and an eager willingness to learn more. Experience in bookselling is a definite plus, as the role will involve a great deal of delivery processing and in time some ordering responsibilities.

With a 32-year track record in the industry, we at Gosh! pride ourselves on being a must-visit destination. We believe in the power and versatility of comics as a medium, and our efforts to reach beyond a traditional comics audience have seen us place as a regional finalist twice in the British Book Awards Independent Bookshop of the Year category. Comics are our first and foremost passion, and our small, dedicated team strive to bring the medium to devoted fans and curious newcomers alike.

The position is full-time and permanent and will pay London Living Wage. We would ideally like a successful applicant to start no later than early July, though we would of course expect you to serve out your full notice period.

If you’re interested, please send us your CV along with a cover letter to introduce yourself and explain a little about why you’d like to work with us and what makes you suitable for the position. All applications should be made via email to info@goshlondon.com, and please be sure to include your name in the subject line.
