Sales Assistant, Vintage

6 months ago

London, United Kingdom The Random House Group Limited Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a **Sales Assistant** to join the Vintage Sales team on a 12 month fixed term contract.

With a catalogue of over 6,000 titles, Vintage publishes some of the world’s most thought-provoking, unforgettable, beautifully designed books - from contemporary trailblazers to our red-spine Vintage Classics. This means that our broad family of authors ranges from world-class prize-winners to emerging talent, including Nigella Lawson, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, Jo Nesbo, Rukmini Iyer, Gabrielle Zevin and Ian McEwan.

This is an administrative role in a busy sales department, reporting into the Sales Manager and working closely with the Key Account Managers in the team. You’ll play an important role in assisting with the smooth running of the Vintage Sales team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking to gain valuable experience in a role which offers autonomy, independence, and responsibility.

Responsibilities will include:

- Supporting the Key Account Managers and Sales Manager in a range of tasks including preparing sales materials, delivering sales reports, and working on sales grids for retailers
- Assisting the team with managing orders, monitoring and analysing sales and market shares
- Operating as a contact for key external stakeholders.
- Working with the Waterstones KAM on outreach to Waterstones booksellers, including our Vintage Huddle X account.
- Providing other relevant administrative support for the team on an ad hoc basis.

This is a varied and busy support role; no two days will be the same and you’ll need to be able to think quickly on your feet. The job includes liaising with customers, colleagues from the wider Sales team and the Vintage division, so you’ll need to be flexible in your approach and have excellent written and interpersonal communication skills. You’ll be able to prioritise a busy workload effectively while still maintaining a keen eye for detail and delivering to deadlines.

**What you’ll bring**: As UK Sales Assistant, you’ll have an interest in how we sell our books to Trade customers in the UK, bringing to the role excellent numeracy and administrative skills and the ability to pick up new systems quickly, as you’ll be working with systems which include Biblio, SAP and Excel. A sound knowledge of Microsoft Office would be an advantage, as well as a positive energy and eagerness to learn.

Everyone’s voice is important, and we are looking for someone who can bring a fresh and exciting new perspective to our team.

**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.

**Salary**: £27,500, plus bonus and benefits

**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 - discounted shopping, season ticket loan, rental deposit loan
- Wellbeing - healthcare cash plan, employee assistance, gym loan
- Lifestyle - taste card, tech scheme, free and discounted books

**Hybrid working**: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 will come to our office in London 2-3 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.
