- Assume responsibility for some young adult titles previously acquired by the Editorial Director.
- Manage profit and loss statements, present titles at editorial meetings and pub board, negotiate deal terms, and oversee project budgets.
- Shepherd new titles through the entire editing process: oversee book schedules and collaborate with managing editorial, design, and production teams on formatting, design, and all stages of publication.
- Prepare sales materials including fact sheets, catalogue copy, flap copy, and metadata research; participate in seasonal launch meetings and sales conference. Work closely with publicity and marketing teams to plan promotional activities for acquired titles.

- Bachelor’s degree preferred.
