We publish a diverse range of high-profile authors such as Kazuo Ishiguro, Anna Burns, Sally Rooney, Leïla Slimani, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Orhan Pamuk, Sebastian Barry, Laura Lippman, Lenny Henry, Luke Harding, Melissa Harrison and Amelia Gentleman, and we have a backlist containing the works of T. S. Eliot, Seamus Heaney, Sylvia Plath and William Golding, among many others.

We are looking to recruit a dynamic and creative Product Editor. This is a key role responsible for overseeing the creation and delivery of special editions, merchandise and exclusive products for sale via Faber Members and faber.co.uk. It is an important role within Faber's Direct-to-Consumer and Members recruitment vision.

The successful candidate will help to develop and oversee the production of special editions, merchandise and exclusive products in consultation with key members of the company. The role will be responsible for every aspect of the publishing and production process, from liaising with authors, agents and estates, finance and our wholesaler to packing and distribution. The role will involve creative planning across the company and ensure that the correct processes are followed. The postholder will also be involved in writing promotional copy and content for the Faber Members newsletter.

Experience in the editorial or production process is essential, as well as the ability to work independently while liaising with different parts of the team to deadline. The ideal candidate will be excited by the Faber brand and have design flair, attention to detail and an entrepreneurial spirit. This is a new role within the company as it launches a new website.

Salary is £28,000 to £30,000 depending on skills and experience.
