    • source and bring to market the best multilingual literature from around the world to our customers 

    • collaborate closely with our Literary Programs Lead to connect authors with our audiences, and to attract new audiences 

    • manage a team of paid and volunteer staff to be highly effective. 

    About you: You are an experienced, courageous bookseller ready to take on the responsibility of growth and sustainability of a mission-driven social enterprise. You bring a depth of knowledge, experience and passion for literature, languages and bookselling to retail and institutional customers alike.
