We're looking for a strategic and collaborative Library Marketing Manager to help shape the future of library engagement in a rapidly evolving Open Access landscape. If you're passionate about marketing, innovation, and driving impact in higher education, this could be your next big move.
We are seeking a Library Marketing Manager to join our Academic Publishing division. This role supports key strategic priorities such as Open Access publishing via Transformative Agreements, the shift to digital textbook models, and evidence-based sales approaches for both books and journals. The role will also contribute to developing Open Access book models.
You will lead a team of six marketers across two global offices, working closely with Library Sales colleagues in EMEA and the Americas. Together, you'll drive sales, build market expertise, and adapt to evolving sales models and regional trends. Flexibility and responsiveness to change are essential, as the academic publishing landscape continues to transform rapidly.
This is a unique opportunity to guide a high-impact team through one of the most disruptive phases in academic publishing, as technology and policy reshape the library market toward a predominantly online, Open Access future. The role involves direct engagement with university librarians—both in person and online—and carries measurable business impact, with responsibility for regular reporting and performance benchmarking.
To be successful, you should have significant marketing experience. Experience managing direct reports, preferably including staff in different locations, would be advantageous. A background working closely with sales teams or direct sales experience would also be beneficial, though not essential. Strong networking and relationship-building skills are key, as developing connections across Sales Teams will support your effectiveness. A high standard of written English is required. Occasional travel will be necessary.
We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a leading academic publisher and assessment organization, part of the University of Cambridge. We are an approved UK employer for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route. Please consult the gov.uk website for eligibility guidance.
Why join us? Joining us offers the opportunity to pursue potential. You'll be part of a collaborative team exploring new ways to serve students, teachers, and researchers worldwide—benefiting individuals and society. Our mission inspires growth, development, and progress in an environment that embraces diversity, change, and aspiration.
We are committed to creating a workplace where anyone can succeed, feel safe to speak up, and learn continuously. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities, actively seeking diversity of thought, background, and approach.
We support your well-being with competitive salaries and a flexible rewards package, including:
* 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
* Private medical and permanent health insurance
* Discretionary annual bonus
* Group personal pension scheme
* Life assurance up to 4x salary
