Marketing Assistant, Random House Children's Books (Hybrid)
The Random House Children's Book's Marketing Department seeks a Marketing Assistant to join our team. Reporting to the Senior Director of Trade Marketing and Strategic Development and the Executive Director, School & Library Marketing, the role offers the opportunity to work closely with an innovative group of marketers collaborating in a fast-paced environment and to support marketing initiatives for our titles and authors while helping champion our Random House Children's Books frontlist and backlist to readers everywhere.
Random House Children's Books is home to bestselling and award-winning trade authors and illustrators from Max and Suzanne Lang (Grumpy Monkey) and Emily Winfield Martin (The Wonderful Things You Will Be) to Nic Stone (author of Dear Martin) and Karen McManus (One of Us Is Lying), Nicola Yoon (Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also a Star), Holly Jackson (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder) Christopher Paolini (The Inheritance Cycle) and renowned brands like Dr. Seuss and Richard Scarry.
