Audiobook Manager/Editor

A full-time other job at Red Apple Creative in London, United Kingdom
Posted 28 August 2015, 11.05am edt

The Company Red Apple Creative is a creative production agency specialising in audio, film and digital production. We are part of the SNK Publishing Group which also includes SNK Studios and Radio Results.

Our audiobook department is thriving and we’re currently looking for an Audiobook Manager/Editor to join our team. As one of the UK’s leading provider of audiobooks we pride ourselves on the product we produce. We set high standards and expect the same from our teams which is why we have a strong roster of clients including Audible.

The Person We Are Looking For

This is a hybrid role which includes project management and audio editing so it’s perfect for someone who is passionate about literature and has an audio background.

You’ll be a highly organised individual, able to manage a busy diary whilst prioritising and working on several projects at the same time. You’ll be fast and efficient as we run to tight deadlines.

You’ll be a people person because you’ll be working with a team of producers and editors and making sure everything runs on schedule. You’ll have a confident manner and feel comfortable speaking to people on the phone and communicating on email.

You’ll be a real bookworm and have a good knowledge of a range of genres. You’ll know what makes for a good story and how we can bring it to life through accurate voiceover casting.

You’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done as sometimes a big project might need an early start or a late finish. What’s more you’ll do this with a smile, because you’re a happy, fun and outgoing individual.

You’ll be much more than a Audiobook Manager/Editor, you’ll be an integral part of the Red Apple Creative family.
