Allen & Unwin New Zealand looking for full-time Publisher





Allen & Unwin is looking for an experienced publisher to commission a broad range of commercial non-fiction titles for the New Zealand market.

We are looking for a strategic, market-focused and ambitious publisher with a strong grasp of the commercial realities of the industry. You will have a sound knowledge of the commissioning process from idea to finished book.

To be successful in this role you will need to be a persuasive in-house advocate with excellent communication and leadership skills, and a wide range of interests. You will have strong writing skills, be capable of reading a gross profit report and adept at managing the financial aspects of a publishing list.

You will be able to manage an author, convince a marketing department and galvanise a sales force behind a book.

This is a great opportunity to make a mark with one of Australasia's leading independent publishers. This full-time role will join our small and talented team, located in our central Auckland office.

Applications are to be made in writing to auckland@allenandunwin.com.
