This is an administrative and operations focused role that supports many key processes including financial admin, asset management, eBook production and author support.

The Person:

You will have your hands in several different projects, providing seamless coordination of multi-faceted projects that require a detail-oriented and organized individual to wrangle them. You’ll spend your day moving pieces, solving problems, and talking to people inside and outside of Kobo, including our international content teams located in France and Netherlands.

You’ll have a diverse set of responsibilities with the opportunity for exposure to many elements of the publishing process.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Financial - Day-to-day financial administrative tasks like account creation, processing invoices, monthly sales reporting, and connecting with authors and rights holders about royalty statements and payments. You will work closely with our finance team to investigate payment inquiries and be responsible for maintaining payment documentation (you don’t need to be an accountant, just precise and not afraid of numbers).
  • Administrative - Managing content assets and metadata, assisting with reporting and promotions, and maintaining merchandising spots like landing pages, lists, etc.
  • Support - Working directly with KWL authors for onboarding and general queries and developing support documentation.
  • Production - Assisting with the preparation and QA of books before publication, compiling metadata, cover research, general support, coordinate distribution of advanced reader copies, occasional compilation of media files for KWL audiobooks.

  • Has advanced knowledge of MS Word and Excel (everyone thinks they know MS Word, but you really know MS Word).
  • Is incredibly detail-oriented and exacting. Seriously. This role is for someone who can keep many moving parts moving towards a shared goal and consistently ensure all our bases are covered.
  • Is familiar with the indie publishing landscape and trends in the author community, (if you love #BookTok this is the right place for you)
  • Is ready for a challenge: the projects that this person will touch are often dynamic, and the demands on the team change on the fly.
  • Is entrepreneurial in nature and comfortable working on a team that values a “DIY” approach.
  • Is a strong believer in the value of original content and the self-publishing industry.
  • Is an ambitious problem solver, driven by delivering results.
