Foreign Rights Assistant

Are you highly organized, confident with technology, and with a passion for making things run smoothly? 

If so, and if you like the idea of working in a fast-paced, international, publishing environment, this may be the role for you.

The Quarto Foreign Rights department is looking for a rights assistant to coordinate incoming sales materials and sales information for a busy sales team, making sure sales reps have all the information they need to be able to sell efficiently; to help with the daily running of the department; and to assist selected sales reps with sales-related customer queries. 

The Quarto Group is the leading global illustrated book publisher and distribution group and is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Combining the might of a major and the creativity of an independent, Quarto creates more than 600 adult and children's books a year. These books are sold by the Quarto Foreign Rights team into more than 45 countries and in more than 35 languages.

You will have all the organisational skills needed to efficiently multi-task in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple priorities.  You will have an eye for detail, excellent verbal and written communication skills, empathy and a drive to succeed.

Previous experience in publishing is an advantage, as is fluency in French and/or an Eastern European language.

If you feel like you meet the above requirements, we would love to hear from you. Please send your CV and cover letter, including salary expectations, to Anna Kovacs, Foreign Rights Director [anna.kovacs@quarto.com].

Note we will only respond to candidates selected for interview.
