You will prepare slides for global book fairs and internal presentations, ensuring that all cover designs, book specifications, and copy are finalized and accurate. Your organizational skills will be crucial as you maintain sales deadlines and ensure the timely delivery of materials through close collaboration with the editors and designers.
