We are currently seeking a Marketing Manager to join our team responsible for marketing Viking, Pamela Dorman Books, Penguin Life, The Open Field, Penguin Books and Penguin Classics, imprints which publish a range of fiction and nonfiction from bestselling and award-winning authors.

• Ability to juggle multiple tasks, keep track of deadlines, and work collaboratively across teams
• Highly organized with a strong attention to detail
• Clear and effective presentation and written communication skills

If you're an innovative marketer, publishing professional or social media/digital communication specialist in constant search of discovering new ways of reaching readers or consumers and are comfortable synthesizing analytics and sales trends as you are dreaming up viral social media campaigns, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
