Growth Director

PublishDrive, the simple and effective all-in-one global publishing solution, is hiring a Growth Director. 

Who we are:

We started with a simple idea—that everyone should be able to publish their books—and we’ve been rethinking the publishing journey ever since.

PublishDrive gives authors and independent publishers the power to publish ebooks, print books, serials, audiobooks, and translated works for foreign markets through more than 50 partners and retailers in more countries around the world. We integrate marketing tools and a reporting dashboard in our platform. And instead of charging authors and publishers additional royalties every time they sell a book, we charge one flat fee in order to control expenses and keep every cent of the royalties earned.

What we’re aiming for:

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Growth Director to join our team. As the Growth Director, you will be responsible for developing and executing strategies, implementing new projects and identifying new opportunities to increase our company's revenue and customer base, and also work closely with the marketing, communications and sales team to identify growth levels and oversee execution.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including customer operations, sales, product to develop and implement growth initiatives
• Reporting to C-level directly.
