Communications Manager

An award winning international business publisher based in London is seeking a Communications Manager to join their team on a maternity cover basis - starting in August 2026 until April 2027. This is a hands on, fast paced role focused on delivering communications campaigns (across both marketing and PR) for a portfolio of business and self-development titles.
 
You will take ownership of communications activity, working closely with authors and clients to develop and execute tailored marketing and PR plans. This includes media relations, digital and social media campaigns, content creation, partnerships, and events. You'll also support a Junior Communications Executive.
 
The ideal candidate will bring experience creating and delivering communications or publicity campaigns, ideally within book publishing (business, education, academic or professional sectors). You'll be confident working directly with authors or clients, translating ideas into effective plans, and driving execution across multiple projects.
 
This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where books are used as platforms to build author brands and thought leadership. The role is primarily remote with occasional London meetings and events so proximity to London is important. Our client is open to full time paying up to £35,000 per annum, or part-time across 3-4 days a week.
