Trade and Export Sales Executive - Trade publishing

Are you skilled in sales? Do you have commercial knowledge of the trade publishing market? Our client, an innovative, creative, independent publisher of non-fiction is looking for an enthusiastic Trade and Export Sales Executive to work closely with the Sales & Rights Director managing all trade and export sales across various territories.

The key responsibilities of the role include preparing the sales catalogue twice annually and liaising with sales reps ensuring they are equipped with the correct sales material for new titles, as well as coordinating with other sales and editorial staff, keeping up to date and deciding on the publishing schedule for the trade division.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, highly organised and systems proficient with knowledge of the trade market. You must be database savvy and have excellent communication and liaison abilities. Direct sales experience is desirable but not essential however you must be commercially aware.

This would be a really great role for someone looking to take their next step from Assistant level, but would equally suit someone looking for a new challenge in a smaller company who is growing and looking to hire someone they can develop within their career.
