Do you want to work for the most creative, dynamic and consumer-focussed publisher in children’s books? Would you like to work on the most successful licensed brands in publishing? Could you spot and acquire the next big thing for children?
We’re looking for an experienced, commercially minded, and creative Commissioning Editor to join our children’s Licensing team. We’re a highly motivated team with a very exciting list, and we’re proud to publish the biggest preschool brands in the market: Peppa Pig, Bluey and Hey Duggee.
About the role, and what you’ll bring
Reporting to the Editorial Director, you’ll be working closely with other editors as well as our design team on a wide range of story, activity, novelty and annual formats.

Our Licensing team make story, novelty and activity books for some of the biggest brands in publishing. We’re looking for someone with proven editorial experience and a track record of working on successful licencing.

Importantly you’ll be ambitious and commercially minded, ready to get stuck in working on a range of book formats for our biggest brands, as well as scouting for promising new licensed properties.
You’ll be bursting with ideas on new trends, formats and concepts for our books. You’ll also be keen to develop relationships with licensors and agents, in search of the next emerging brand for babies to teens to add to our list.
You must be flexible, pro-active, resilient under pressure and highly motivated, as well as being able to use your own initiative in handling competing priorities. Being highly organised with a keen eye for detail, good market knowledge and endless curiosity is a must.
