Position Overview

We are looking for a full-time Editor to take our Spanish-language catalogue (primarily audiobooks, but also ebooks and potentially print) to the next level.

You will report to the Editor-in-Chief of the Spanish-language market.

• Catalogue and programme development. Monitor the performance of the existing catalogue and use sales data to shape what we publish next (e.g. new authorships, classics, compilations, and relaunches)
• Title and metadata management. Register titles and move them through the publishing workflow in our in-house systems, make sure every title has strong, commercially sharp metadata and collaborate with the Production Coordinator on covers
• Audiobook production. Run audiobook production together with our recording studios: help select narrators, commission recordings, resolve day-to-day narration issues, maintain an overview of narrators, studios and rates, and handle studio invoicing
• Marketing and retail partnerships. Build and maintain relationships with retailers' content managers, pitch price promotions and campaign themes, present the upcoming programme to secure visibility for our titles.
• Team and representation. Represent the Spanish market in editorial and team meetings, contribute actively to decision-making, and represent Saga Egmont at internal presentations, external meetings, and book fairs
