Overview

Product Developer (Publishing)

From £27,000 plus benefits

90% of schools use CGP books, making us the UK’s No.1 educational publisher. We’re successful because we’re flexible and quick to market with new products, and that’s where you come in.

Responsibilities

You’ll use your research skills to identify opportunities for fabulous new print and digital products, cost up your ideas and present sound business proposals to senior colleagues. You’ll then bring your product to life with the help of our in-house Editing, Digital and Design teams.

Qualifications

• You’ll be a graduate with an impressive academic background and a sound track record in research — this could be a PhD, Masters or from your experience in a relevant role (not necessarily publishing).
• You’ll have a curious and creative mind, and the ability to analyse complex data to great commercial effect.
• You’ll be joining a small team so there’s plenty of opportunity to make your mark right from the start.
