## What you'll be doing

Developing, implementing and monitoring processes to support the timely delivery of our books to critical path, with a particular focus on facilitating creative and ambitious working between editorial and design, this is a pivotal operations role within a busy department.

As the key point of contact between the creative teams and commercial departments, this is an opportunity to take a broad overview of our award-winning and bestselling publishing programme across all imprints, from long-time young fiction series and market-leading graphic novels, to highly illustrated fiction and non-fiction, and international YA brands.
