Commissioning Editor
Deadline: Mon 18 Dec 2017
The Poetry Translation Centre is seeking an experienced Commissioning Editor to join our small and dynamic team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a poetry background and an entrepreneurial spirit, who is serious about championing BAME representation in UK literature. A proven track record in publishing contemporary poetry is desirable. We particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates.

The Poetry Translation Centre was founded in 2004 by the poet Sarah Maguire to introduce extraordinary poetry from around the world to new audiences, live and online. Our mission is to give the best poems from Africa, Asia and Latin America a new life in the English language, to better recognise and celebrate the diverse communities who have made their home in the UK, and to enrich the English poetic tradition through translation.

This is a new role, reporting to the PTC’s Chief Executive Officer, Erica Jarnes. You will be joining us at an exciting time of transition, as we shape and deliver an ambitious artistic programme in line with our new four-year strategy.

The position is permanent and part-time - a total of 3 days per week (0.6 FTE) - and will be based primarily at the PTC’s office in central London (with possibilities for working from home). The salary will be £32,000 - £35,000 pro rata, depending on your skills and experience.

Deadline: 5pm, Monday 18 December 2017
Interviews: Week of 8 January 2018, in central London
