About the role

Macmillan Children's Publishing Group seeks an experienced Associate Director of Production to lead the frontlist production team for Feiwel & Friends, Henry Holt, and Godwin Books imprints, as well as conversions for MCPG. In this hands-on role, you’ll coach production managers while also managing your own list of 40-45 titles annually across picture books, chapter books, novelty titles and graphic novels.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
