90% of schools use CGP books, making us the UK's No.1 educational publisher. We're successful because we're flexible and quick to market with new products, and that's where you come in.
We're looking for a Product Developer to join us at our Lake District Head Office. You'll use your research skills to identify opportunities for fabulous new print and digital products, cost up your ideas and present sound business proposals to senior colleagues. You'll then bring your product to life with the help of our in-house Editing, Digital and Design teams.
To thrive as a Product Developer, you'll be a graduate with an impressive academic background and a sound track record in research; this could be a PhD, Masters or from your experience in a relevant role (not necessarily publishing). You'll have a curious and creative mind, and the ability to analyse complex data to great commercial effect. You'll be joining a small team so there's plenty of opportunity to make your mark right from the start.
Working closely with other in-house Product Developers, you'll understand and be able to champion what makes CGP products so popular. Just as important, you'll know what won't fit with our brand.
In this role you'll:
- Research your target market to understand the needs of our customers
- Analyse sales data to explore market behaviour and identify opportunities for new, profitable publishing
- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of competitor products (and our own) to ensure we always stay one step ahead
- Research and propose fully costed product ideas
- Work with in-house Editing, Digital Design and Sales Marketing teams to ensure that approved ideas are turned into superb products
Interested? Great! Head to our website for more info and for details on how to apply!
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a pre-selection task, and assessments will be held at our Lake District site.
