Penguin Random House Ireland is hiring a Communications Assistant.

This is an entry-level opportunity for someone with a can-do attitude, who is keen to learn and use their own initiative.

You will be responsible for general administration for the publicity team, including organising meetings and communicating with journalists and authors. In addition, you will organise publicity schedules, travel and accommodation and accompany authors to interviews and attend events, which will involve some evenings and weekends.

What you’ll bring
The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys working in a team, is full of ideas and has a creative approach. You must be flexible, have a great eye for detail and enjoy engaging on social media and understand how it works. You must be highly computer literate and some basic design experience would be helpful but not essential. You’ll also be well organised and be able to prioritise. You’ll need excellent interpersonal skills over email, phone and in-person, combined with the confidence to communicate with both authors and the press.
