A unique opportunity to lead Seren, one of Wales’s foremost English-language publishers.
We are looking for a visionary and motivating leader with a passion for taking one of Wales’ cultural gems to new levels of sustainability, resilience, and ambition. Our successful candidate will be committed to inclusion and will be able to drive change and growth.
Drawing on our role as a custodian and steward of Wales’ English-language literature, in the coming years we will build on the hard-earned trust and respect placed in our brand. We will work to better serve readers, both reflect and influence contemporary Wales, and further grow our role in identifying and developing new and existing talent.
Our ambition is to become a powerhouse of independent publishing, rooted in Wales and reflecting its distinctiveness, but with a reach across the whole of the UK and beyond.
Our new Chief Executive will bring this ambition to life, so that we make a truly outstanding contribution to the culture of Wales for future generations.
We’re looking for someone with strong business skills and experiences, who might have worked in publishing and/or the cultural sector previously or be passionate about transferring their expertise to this sphere. You don’t need to be an editor or a literary expert – we have this already within our excellent team and Board – you just need to love books, be keen to learn about the sector and a proven operational and business leader.
