Games Workshop has an exciting opportunity for a Publishing Production Controller to join our Black Library team, where you will play a critical role in supporting our creatives by devising and overseeing plans to deliver our physical and digital products on-time and to the right specifications.
Solution-focused and adaptable, you will use software to create schedules of work for around 50 studio colleagues, and lead regular in-person catch-up meetings with all to affirm progress towards upcoming deadlines. Your delivery plans should always reflect real-time reality, and your communication around changes will need to be proactive and clear so that stakeholders in the wider business can easily understand and stay in sync. You will also be responsible for managing short and long term capacity by regularly forecasting demand on team resources and communicating and escalating risks to key colleagues.
Additionally, you will leverage your knowledge of book publishing to turn graphic design briefs into print specifications, and work closely with our Buying Team to achieve timely tendering of all physical products.
Organised and with meticulous attention to detail, you will also take delivery of physical product samples from external suppliers and coordinate distribution and timely approval, ensuring that IP-sensitive products are handled and stored appropriately at all times.
Credible and with a passion for working with others, you will work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners to overcome challenges and solve problems.
Successful candidates for the role will have a strong understanding of the book production process and excellent scheduling skills and prioritisation skills.
At Games Workshop we are looking for people who will do their best to understand the needs of the company and to put those needs first when they are at work. Because of this we believe that what you are like, hence the attitude you show to work and the way you choose to behave is even more important than your skills and experience.
The Warhammer World site is based just outside of Nottingham city centre and benefits from a nearby tram stop and free onsite car parking.
In return for your hard work, you will receive 33 days holiday per year (including public holidays), matching contributory pension scheme up to 7.5%, profit share bonus (subject to GW meeting profit targets) and option to join our Share Save scheme. Oh and let’s not forget, a staff discount of between 25% and 50% on our products!
