Children's Publishing - Product Developer

£30k - £35k (depending on experience)

We're looking for a Product Developer to join us at our Lake District Head Office to focus on our Children's Publishing range. You'll identify opportunities for exciting new products, cost up your ideas and present sound business proposals to senior colleagues.

Ideally, you'll have some experience in Children's Publishing (fiction or non-fiction) in an editorial or commissioning role (including working with external authors or illustrators) but it's your creativity that will really excite us!

What you'll do

In this role you'll:

• Use your creativity to develop new products for our children's retail publishing range
• Research your target market to understand the needs of our customers
• Analyse sales data to explore market behaviour, identifying new and profitable opportunities
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of competitor products (and our own) to ensure we always stay one step ahead
• Propose new product ideas (costed up fully)
• Work with external authors and illustrators, as well as in-house Editing, Digital & Design and Sales & Marketing teams to ensure that approved ideas are turned into superb products

Who you'll be

You'll be:

• Creative and full of ideas, with the determination to see them through
• Great at building and managing internal and external relationships
• Commercially aware and generally numerate
• A university graduate with a strong academic background
• Curious, open-minded and keen to learn

Why CGP?

• We're the UK's No.1 educational publisher
• We're independent and able to adapt to change quickly
• Our products are created in-house, and everyone contributes to their success
• You'll be based at our attractive offices on the edge of the beautiful Lake District National Park
• We tend to do things a bit differently - who else has their very own Quirk Ambassador?

Interested?
