Are you highly organised, a confident communicator, and eager to build a career in marketing? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Marketing Administrator to join the award-winning, dynamic and collaborative marketing team within Cornerstone.
We are looking for someone who can support the smooth day-to-day running of marketing operations, bringing efficiency, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to everything they do.
About Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a division within Penguin Random House UK. Cornerstone is home to seven imprints: Century, Del Rey, Inklore, evermore, Hutchinson Heinemann, #Merky Books, and Cornerstone Press, each with its own specific focus and remit. Every Cornerstone book also goes on to become a Penguin paperback.
Within publishing, Cornerstone has an enviable track record of bestsellers, prize winners and culture-shaping books, working with many of the world’s most interesting voices, often throughout their entire career. Our books span genres, categories and marketplaces globally.
The role
As Marketing Administrator you will be focused on supporting core processes and enabling the team to operate efficiently within a fast-paced environment. Sitting at the heart of the marketing team, you will develop a strong understanding of marketing project management across the full lifecycle of a book, and across all our imprints, with exposure and attendance at key business meetings including our Acquisitions, Brand and Campaigns meetings. Please note that this role will not be working directly on campaigns.
