Your key responsibilities:

End-to-end production management: Manage the production process for a diverse range of adult titles, ensuring every book, from standard mono to high-spec special editions, meets Pan Macmillan’s quality standards.
Manufacturing oversight: Order and monitor printings from initial confirmation through to final delivery, acting as a primary point of contact for external suppliers to ensure a seamless supply chain.
Financial stewardship: Produce accurate costings at every stage of the critical path to support informed business decisions and maintain healthy project margins.
Commercial negotiation: Proactively negotiate schedules, specifications, and pricing with external suppliers to secure the best value without compromising on quality or deadlines.
Data integrity: Manage and update Biblio and other internal systems to ensure product records, schedules, and approvals are accurate and accessible to the wider business.
Cross-departmental collaboration: Partner closely with the Editorial, Art, Operations, and Sales teams to align production schedules with marketing beats, retail requirements, and core process improvements.

Essential experience, abilities, knowledge and values you’ll need to succeed:

Book production expertise: Proven experience in book production (ideally within trade publishing), with a practical understanding of mono manufacturing and advanced knowledge of book specifications.
Technical literacy: A comprehensive working knowledge of typesetting, repro, ebooks, and print processes, alongside proficiency in industry-standard software (such as Biblio and Adobe Acrobat).
Commercial & financial awareness: A high level of numeracy with the ability to produce accurate costings, negotiate competitive pricing with suppliers, and manage invoices precisely.
Project management & prioritisation: Excellent organisational skills with a demonstrated ability to manage a complex workload and maintain schedules across multiple high-priority titles.
Collaboration & communication: Clear, persuasive written and spoken communication skills, with a natural ability to build positive relationships with both internal stakeholders and external global suppliers.
Inclusion and representation: An active dedication to promoting diverse voices and inclusive practices, taking personal responsibility for ensuring our workplace and publishing reflect the communities we serve.
Community: A collaborative approach to building a supportive and vibrant environment.
Curiosity: A strong drive for learning and a readiness to embrace different perspectives.
