Additional Info from our client:

  • We are looking for a talented individual to support the creation and production of eBooks for a diverse range of publications, including children's books, cookbooks, and photography books.

  • The role involves converting already designed books into polished, user-friendly eBook formats, requiring high-quality digital design across multiple eBook levels and formats.

  • This position will involve collaborating with a small team of around six people.

  • We are seeking candidates who possess proficiency in Adobe InDesign and eBook export workflows, strong digital design capabilities across formats, and a degree in Design with 2-5+ years of experience.

  • Experience in digital or print publishing—whether its magazines, books, or related layout work—is essential. Moreover, a strong layout sensibility and the ability to deliver visually appealing eBook experiences are crucial.

  • We are looking for someone who is outgoing, positive, pleasant, and a clear communicator, and who can work independently within a small team environment.

  • As the manager reviews resumes, candidates with publishing experience as a digital publisher for magazine books and any sort of layout experience will stand out.

  • Experience in digital or print publishing, particularly if they have worked for notable publishers such as Random House, Sterling, or Hatchett, will be highly regarded.
