London, United Kingdom Penguin Books Limited Full time

We are hiring for an Editor or Senior Editor to join our fast growing Audio team on a 12-month fixed term contract, covering a period of secondment in the team.

**About Penguin Random House Audio**

At Penguin Random House Audio, the UK’s leading audiobook publisher, we are dedicated to making the very best audiobooks. Working with exceptional acting talent, producers and studios, we publish award-winning and bestselling audiobooks such as Lisa Jewell’s _None of This is True_, Steven Bartlett’s _The Diary of a CEO_, Dr Julie Smith’s _Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?_, Jeff Kinney’s _Wimpy Kid_ series and Rick Riordan’s _Percy Jackson_ novels.

We have an exciting opportunity to join this fast-paced team as an editor working across adult and children’s titles, playing a key role in ensuring our publishing and casting is the best in the business.

**The Opportunity**

You will be working independently on some of our biggest titles, casting actors, working with recording studios and doing detailed editorial work on texts and briefs for readers and studios. You’ll work closely with authors, agents and narrators, and with colleagues across the business.

Day to day you can expect to be:

- The first point of contact for our publishing divisions
- Delivering ambitious and creative production approaches for our audiobooks
- Keeping our titles on their critical path, overseeing and organising the production and taking responsibility for managing costs.
- Sharing your commercial insight and market knowledge

**What you’ll bring**

We’d love to hear from you if you combine a love for audio and experience with the publishing process. We’ll need you to bring an author-focused approach and the knowledge of the end-to-end critical path of a finished book and audiobook. You will also need to understand how texts and voices intertwine and have the commercial mindset to understand what will work in the market.

A strong team player able to communicate effectively to a wide range of people, you’ll also be organised and proactive and able to keep on top of multiple projects.

**About Penguin**:
We’re the UK’s largest publisher; made up of some 2,000 people and publishing over 1,500 books each year. Our doors are open to all kinds of talent. In a constantly evolving industry, we work hard to stretch the definition of the word publisher. Here, you’ll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success. Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.

As part of your cover letter we would like you to tell us about what you think the current trends are in the audio market and about what you think the key elements to creating a great audiobook are (in no more than 300 words).

**Salary**:We are open to hiring at either Editor or Senior Editor level. An offer will be made in line with how your skills and experience align with the role.

Editor: From £31,500

Senior Editor: From £37,000

Competitive benefits package: Our people are the heart of our business, and we work hard to support a culture of responsibility and recognition.

Our benefits include:

- Financial - income protection, life assurance, childcare allowance
- Wellbeing - healthcare cash plan, critical illness cover, health checks
- Lifestyle - enhanced parental leave, tech scheme,

Hybrid working: We’re experimenting with a hybrid way of working that suits the needs of each team. While our offices across the UK are places to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, we recognise that flexibility around where you work is just as important. For this role we expect that you work from our Embassy Gardens office around 3 days a week.

Please note, we are not able to accept agency CVs for this role. Any CVs sent speculatively will not be eligible for a fee.
