Head of Sales, Fiction (12 month FTC)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead sales for our HarperFiction division, working with retailers, the HarperFiction publishing teams and the wider UK sales organisation.

HarperFiction has a wide and varied list, from major global brand publishing from the likes of Phillipa Gregory, Dilly Court and Karin Slaughter, to some of the biggest launches across the market with Clare Mackintosh. That sits alongside the world-class Voyager imprint, The Borough Press and a full Estates list publishing Agatha Christie and Tolkien.

The Head of Sales is a key member of the UK Sales team, responsible for delivering the HarperFiction sales plan, managing key customer relationships and supporting the commercial success of the division.

Working closely with the Fiction Sales Director, the successful candidate will use market insight, customer knowledge and sales analysis to shape account plans, support publishing decisions and deliver agreed sales targets.

The role requires a collaborative and commercially focused manager who can build strong relationships, support the sales team and champion HarperFiction authors, brands and imprints.
