About Cybirdy Publishing
Cybirdy Publishing is a dynamic, independent London-based publisher founded in 2022. We create beautifully illustrated special-edition books, audiobooks, and digital titles that blend fiction, short stories, poetry, visual arts, and innovative storytelling. Our books challenge mainstream narratives, revive forgotten classics, and champion bold new voices with a focus on mind-bending, authentic, and humanely intelligent literature. We’re a small, passionate team dedicated to high-quality physical editions and expanding our global footprint. Our titles are already available online, at book fairs, and pop-up events — and we’re ready to scale.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a talented, ambitious young at heart professional to join us as our Social Manager. This is a pivotal “build-from-the-ground-up” role for someone with genuine literary taste, a natural flair for community building on social media, a clear understanding of X and a passion for beautiful books and arty scene. If you love literature, have strong interpersonal instincts, and want to play a key role in growing an independent publisher’s reach in bookshops and internationally, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact.
Key Responsibilities
Managing Social media community and advertising campaigns
Collaborate closely with editorial team, Bookcybirdy.com developer and marketing team on new releases and campaigns.
What We're Looking For
A young at heart, hungry talent with strong literary sensibility with a natural gift for selling.
Demonstrated interest in books — especially classics, poetry, fiction, and innovative storytelling.
Social Media awareness and persuasive communication skills (previous sales experience in publishing, bookselling, or a related creative field is highly valued, but exceptional natural ability matters more).
Self-motivated, organised, and comfortable working in a small, fast-moving team and artists.
Network or the potential to quickly build one in the book trade.
Willingness to travel occasionally (France, Europe, India and USA) for events and meetings.
What We Offer
Salary: £3,600.00 to £6,000 base depending on experience for one day a week with a minimum of one day per month at the office.
Generous staff discount on our books + free copies of new titles.
Opportunity to shape the growth of a passionate indie publisher and develop your career in a creative industry.
