Global Sales Manager

The role

Bristol University Press (BUP), along with its award-winning imprint Policy Press (PP), is looking for a Global Sales Manager to implement its sales strategy and to increase sales in line with business growth targets. This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a dynamic, not-for-profit scholarly Press based at one of the world’s top universities.

What will you be doing?

The successful candidate should have extensive sales experience within academic publishing, including significant knowledge of trade and institutional sales, print and digital retailers and content licensing. The Global Sales Manager will be expected to deliver on ambitious UK and international sales targets for the books and eBooks portfolio and a knowledge of social science disciplines would be a distinct advantage. You will need to have managed a range of key accounts and agents and have experience of developing and implementing successful sales campaigns, preparing forecasts and reports, managing budgets and leading a staff team.

You should apply if

you are a strong communicator, negotiator and presenter with excellent reporting, organisational and analytical skills and have a proven track record of delivering revenue growth and working under pressure.

As a leading international publisher of social science books, journals and digital products we have a strong social mission and are looking for a candidate who is also committed to making a difference to society. The position comes with great benefits of working within a University, but most importantly, it is a chance to engage with leading social science scholarship that can change people’s lives. You will be a key player in helping BUP deliver its ambitious business growth and build its global reputation as a mission-led, not-for-profit publisher.
