Senior Commissioning Editor

Are you intellectually curious with a strong commercial sensibility? Do you love exploring unchartered subjects in search of that next bestseller or once in a generation book? This is a chance to build and manage a high-growth list in the non-fiction market. We’re looking for someone commercially minded, with a genuine interest in consumer and market trends.
This role will suit someone who is ambitious and entrepreneurial and will have scope to work across a wide range of topics, from popular science, world history, philosophy and memoir to lifestyle, entertainment, humour and subject-led narrative non-fiction. This role will not focus on cookery or self-development titles.
This position reports to the Head of Non-fiction.
About Penguin Michael Joseph and the Non-fiction Team
Penguin Michael Joseph are the publishers of a focused list of the UK’s best-loved fiction and non-fiction writers, from Marian Keyes to Raynor Winn, Stephen Fry to Jojo Moyes.
In non-fiction, Michael Joseph are home to some of the UK’s biggest authors, as well as some of the most exciting new voices. Ranging from across a broad spectrum of genres, our recent bestsellers include Dr Julie Smith’s Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, Raynor Winn’s Landlines, Dame Judi Dench’s Shakespeare, Dawn French’s The Twat Files, Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat series, James Norbury’s Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, Roxie Nafousi’s Manifest and Nadiya Hussain’s Simple Spices.

We’re eager to identify books that have potential to travel, whether that’s through translated editions, or our own international sales team, and you’ll also have the opportunity to delve into our backlist.
We are looking for candidates who have managed creative projects, whether this be in book publishing, magazines, journalism or the media industry more widely. What’s important to us is that you can identify talent for the next bestseller, and work with them, bringing the rest of the team at PMJ along with you.
