Marketing coordinator, Sydney

Walker Books Australia

Walker Books Australia is an award-winning publishing house. For nearly 30 years, we have published outstanding children’s books for readers of all ages.

We have an exciting opportunity for an organised and passionate marketing coordinator to join our dynamic and growing marketing and publicity team.

In this multi-faceted role, you will support our reach-out to consumers and educators. You’ll:

• Source quotes and research suppliers for marketing collateral
• Work with the marketing manager to schedule social media posts and set up paid social and programmatic campaigns
• Write copy, create and send EDMs
• Brief design for some of our printed ads and social assets
• Support our relationships with marketing partners such as Better Reading and Tandem
• And perform a broad range of other administrative and marketing tasks.

You will:

• Be a deadline-focused, team-player who can juggle tasks
• Enjoy working hands-on in a small team
• Have demonstrated excellent written communication skills
• Be a fast learner who is undaunted by working with new software programs and systems.

You will ideally have at least one years’ experience in a marketing role or in bookselling/ publishing. Some experience with InDesign would also be of benefit.

Familiarity with social media scheduling tools and/or social media strategy and/or email marketing tools will be looked on favourably; as will familiarity with the needs of teachers, librarians and the education market.

This is a full-time role on a one-year contract. The role is based in the Sydney office and we offer flexible working hours and work from home options.

If this sounds like you, please apply with a CV and cover letter outlining your experience to PersonnelWBA@walkerbooks.com.au. Applications close Monday, 13 February.
