About the position

BookBub’s Account Managers help our publisher partners use BookBub to effectively sell books and find new fans. The person in this role will be the main BookBub liaison for a group of our publisher partners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, responsible for hitting revenue goals from existing accounts and driving new business from publishers we don’t work with yet. When it’s safe to do so, the person in this role will have the opportunity to regularly travel (internationally and domestically) for industry events and client meetings.

 Here’s a sample of what someone can expect to accomplish in their first year in this position:

• Drive significant revenue from US & international publisher partners by strategically optimizing existing business and generating new business, ensuring we hit our quarterly and annual revenue goals
• Build strong relationships with our publisher partners, becoming a trusted source of guidance on how they can best use BookBub’s marketing tools to achieve their goals and sell more books
• Maintain high client retention and satisfaction by providing excellent support and an unwavering willingness to assist partners with any concerns
• Represent BookBub in the publishing community and enhance our brand by presenting at industry conferences, attending networking events, and regularly meeting with partners, including internationally
• Become an indispensable member of the Partners team, representing partners’ interests internally while developing excellent working relationships and building trust with coworkers and other BookBub teams

Ideal candidates for this position will have:

• Experience developing and fostering professional relationships, networking and making connections, and providing client/customer support
• Demonstrated success in closing business, hitting goals, and driving revenue
• A solid understanding of ebook marketing strategies and strong knowledge of the publishing industry and its key players
• An ability to think analytically and excitement for BookBub’s data-driven approach to decision-making
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Direct experience working in sales or account management in a variety of fields is a plus but not a requirement; candidates with a publishing background in publicity, marketing, rights, scouting, and agenting, etc. may have equally fitting experience for this role
