Associate Editor - Web jobs in New York, NY

The ABRAMS Children’s Books entertainment and licensing team is looking for an energetic, highly creative editor to own the novelty/board book category in addition to taking the lead on select YA and middle grade novels and series. Our ideal candidate is a pop culture aficionado who loves bringing a unique vision to fruition and is passionate about high-quality, design-focused children’s books. This person thrives in fast-paced environments, has a history of tackling complex puzzles (for fun), is a clear and effective communicator, derives energy from the process of creative brainstorming, collaborates well with all types of people, and can confidently own their list from development through production. This is a position that best suits personalities who genuinely enjoy thinking outside the box, though you will also need to stay organized to succeed.

Our new editor will partner with our licensees, and internally with design, managing editorial, and production teams to hit deadlines for deliverables—but the editor alone will be responsible for discerning the goals of the publisher and external brand partners and confidently synthesizing several respective visions (including your own) into a single dynamic approach. Current brand partners include Netflix, Universal, Paramount, Mattel, Hasbro, Marvel, DC, Disney, and more.

The new editor will manage licensed content on all children’s imprints alongside other editors on the team.
