Ideal candidates have strong communication skills and experience in publishing, especially comics.
This London-based, full-time hybrid position offers a salary up to £27,000 and values comic fans.

For a new full-time Direct Market Sales Coordinator. Basically, dealing with comic book shops. Maybe you already work in a comic book store? Maybe you can commute to Waterloo or London Bridge? Maybe you're a big cheese in marketing, happy to take a step down if it means working with Conan, Rivers Of London or Blade Runner? The job pays up to the London Living Wage (just), and here is what it entails;
