Wandsworth, United Kingdom Penguin Books Limited Full time

Are you interested to learn how we sell our books into Non Trade retailers?

We’re looking for a Sales Assistant to join our Adult Non-Trade Sales team on a six month FTC. The team looks after sales into around 1,000 non-traditional retailers. Our key accounts include The Works; Urban Outfitters; Moonpig; ALDI; Neon Sheep; TK Maxx; and many more. We also think creatively to seek out partnership opportunities for our books, working with many different companies from Gucci to Greggs

Reporting into the Sales Manager, your main responsibilities will include managing sales for some authors and events and working closely with the customer services team to ensure our delivery requirements are met. You will assist on a number of key Non-Trade accounts and support the team by preparing for and following up with sales presentations. You will process small orders, fulfil customer documentation requests and assist with research for new customer contacts, so having an eye-for-detail and being diligent are key skills for this role.

The team you’ll be joining works across the eight Adult Penguin Random House publishing houses and you will help to identify titles from each that are suitable for key Non Trade accounts. This role requires you to liaise with many other teams across the company including Production, Inventory, Editorial, Royalties and Contracts. This means you’ll need to communicate confidently and balance multiple priorities effectively.

The most important skills needed for this role are strong organisational skills, keen attention to detail, excellent communication and a can-do attitude. You should also have a solid understanding and experience of using Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint and Excel. You don’t need to have prior publishing experience, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about our sales team and company to be successful within this role.

**Salary**: You‘ll start on £24,000. Expect a £1,000 increase on your first anniversary in this role and a further £1,000 on your second to reflect your growing contribution.

**What you can expect from us**:
Our employees are the heart of our business. We have a range of benefits to reflect our commitment to our employees, some of which are:

- 27 days paid holiday entitlement in year one (plus bank holidays), increasing a day each year up to 30 days
- Medical cover
- Life assurance
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Discounted gym membership
- Generous pension scheme
- Summer working hours (role dependent)
- Volunteering policy and charity matching
- Employee Assistance programme
- Mentoring programme
- Extended gender neutral parental leave
- 60% Discount on Company books
