We’re on the hunt for an entrepreneurial person to join our Picture Books & Partnerships team in a senior editorial role.
 

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team who work with some of the world’s best-loved picture book brands, including Beatrix Potter, The Snowman and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  
 

Working closely with the Publisher, your challenge will be to deliver profitable, globally successful publishing programmes of exceptional standards. You will have the ability to formulate and drive business objectives as informed by the brands’ and Penguin Random House’s growth plans.
