Sales representative, Melbourne

Exisle Publishing

Exisle is an independent Australian publisher of nonfiction and children’s books. We have an exciting and growing stable of successful Melbourne authors.

We are looking for a Melbourne-based sales representative to show our list of award-winning, locally authored books to our customers, including bookstores.

If you are curious, diligent, ambitious, hardworking, and love books and bookstores we would like to hear from you.

Be part of our tight-knit, supportive team in this family-run company.

This sales role offers a fair degree of autonomy and would suit someone who likes variety in their days and to get out from behind the desk to build relationships with existing customers, as well as establish new ones. You should be happy selling books into speciality retail shops, helping a children’s bookstore develop its sales of our books, and be comfortable in the head office of a key account. The right person matters more than the hours which can be part time or full time.

You will need to be well presented, articulate, have excellent written communication, and be organised. You also need a good grasp of Excel and be confident with numbers.

We are looking for an energetic self-starter with a positive outlook, and a track record of showing initiative. Sales experience will be well regarded but is not a prerequisite. A background in education or mental health would be an asset.

You will be based from home and spend most of your days on the road visiting with customers. Some interstate travel is also required. You will need a reliable car and a valid driver’s licence.

The role has a start date in mid-January 2024, the hours to be worked are flexible and may suit a carer needing to accommodate school hours.

Applications: Please send your cover letter and CV to alison@exislepublishing.com by December 20.
