About the role:

The International Rights Manger is a key position within Tate Publishing, with responsibility for selling rights and co-editions to business partners internationally in order to maximise intellectual properties and profits for Tate Enterprises. You will be responsible for all sales both to trade publishers (adult and children’s) and to museum/gallery publishers worldwide, including managing sub-agents in some territories. The role will involve international travel to key book fairs.
To be the successful applicant you will be a self-motivated individual with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in co-edition and rights sales for an illustrated book publisher. You will thrive on working to targets and your commercial acumen will mean that exploiting all opportunities to grow the business comes naturally to you. You will also possess a good understanding of copyright law.

Our ideal candidate:

You will have proven organisation and time-management skills and first-class communication and negotiation skills. You will have been involved previously in managing the process from negotiation through to delivery and invoicing, and will be adept at liaising with colleagues across Editorial and Production to ensure the smooth-running of co-edition printings.
Enthusiasm for working as part of a small team is a must for this busy and varied role with a high level of responsibility and independence.
