Qualifications

• Strong digital advertising skills.
• Wider marketing experience in publishing or a reader‑facing brand.
• Passionate about books, data‑driven, strategic, and creative campaign skills.

Benefits

• 35 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, including a mandatory four‑week consecutive break each year
