Think Selection is delighted to be recruiting an Art Distribution Manager for a prestigious international publishing company, to manage the distribution operations of third-party Art and Architecture lists and identify new opportunities for growth.

You’ll be the main London-based contact for museum and gallery clients whose books are distributed by the publisher. You’ll review new titles, agreeing pricing and print runs with partners; and ensure each book is prepared for publication and sale by providing sales and marketing teams with new title information.

You’ll produce regular sales reports, track performance by title, and provide clients with updates on publication timelines, stock availability and deliveries. You’ll also coordinate reprints and shipping, arranging reprints where needed and managing freight, shipping instructions and import paperwork to ensure books move smoothly through the supply chain.

There is the opportunity to contribute to the development of the distribution programme and help identify potential new museum and gallery clients over time.

The role involves daily contact with colleagues in the UK and US, and with clients across Europe and other international markets.

This rare opportunity would suit someone with book publishing experience in distribution, sales or operations who is comfortable working with data and schedules, and who can communicate clearly with external clients.

This is a varied role with the opportunity to influence how the distribution side of the company develops.

A competitive salary and excellent company benefits are on offer to the successful candidate. If this rare opportunity looks of interest to you, please contact Danny Parnes at Think Selection, in confidence, with your CV and current salary or expectations - danny@thinkselection.com – and we will come back to you. Many thanks.
