At Rizzoli we are in the business of creating the very best illustrated books that inspire and excite. Our publishing covers fashion, interior design, culinary, art, architecture, photography and other lifestyle areas across imprints including Rizzoli New York, Rizzoli Universe and Rizzoli Electa.

  • Experience in conceiving, commissioning and acquiring highly visual, beautifully packaged illustrated titles.
  • Excellent negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with authors, agents, and freelancers.
  • Strong editorial skills to assess and provide constructive feedback on manuscripts, guide authors through the editorial process and brief external freelancers, including designers.
  • Outstanding project management abilities, at ease with prioritising tasks, meeting deadlines, and managing multiple projects simultaneously.

We have deliberately kept the scope of the role broad and we are keen to hear from both talented editors looking to make their next career move as well as experienced commissioners wanting a new environment where they can expand their horizons and really make a difference.


The Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits.
  • Opportunities for professional development.
  • A dynamic and supportive team culture that celebrates creativity and innovation.
  • London-based, with flexible work arrangements for a healthy work-life balance.
  • The chance to make a meaningful impact by shaping the future of the publishing program.


Rizzoli welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
