6 open roles
Production
Book Formatter
Typeset manuscripts into print and ebook editions that go to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark without a rejection. Fully remote, worldwide.
Creative
Book Cover Designer
Design book covers that sell. Work across every genre — romance, thriller, literary fiction, historical, children's, non-fiction — for authors publishing worldwide.
Marketing
Video Editor
Cut the short-form video that sells a publishing company — founder clips, book trailers, and social content that survives the first three seconds.
Business Development
Sales Closer
Close warm inbound leads from authors who already want help publishing their book. No cold calling, no list buying — the leads come to you.
Marketing
Social Media Manager
Own our social presence end to end — Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube — and turn an audience of authors into booked calls.
Marketing
Digital Marketer (Paid Ads)
Run Google, Meta and Amazon Ads — for HMD Publishing and for our author clients — and be judged on what the spend brings back.
These are not open. They are here so you can see the shape of the team — if one of them is your role, send your CV to support@hmdpublishing.com and we will come back to you when it reopens.
How we hire
Four steps, and you set the pace of two of them. We are not going to put you through six rounds.
i.
Apply
Send your CV and the work that backs it up — a portfolio, a reel, links to accounts you grew, or the last deal you closed. Ten minutes, one form.
ii.
Record a short intro video
We ask every applicant for 60–90 seconds on camera: who you are, why this role, and one thing you have made. A phone is fine. Loom, YouTube, Drive or Vimeo — no editing needed.
iii.
We review, and come back to you
A person watches your video alongside your work. If it is a fit, you get an email with a link to book a time that suits you — no back-and-forth to agree one.
iv.
A conversation about the work
One call with the people you would actually work with, about the things you have actually done. We do not run four rounds of panels.
The people you would be working with
Not a stock photo between them. This is the team across formatting, design, editorial, marketing and client work — spread across the UK, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines and Nigeria.

What it is actually like
Fully remote, genuinely
Every open role is remote and hiring worldwide. We are not a company that says remote and means a hybrid rota — the team already spans several countries.
The work ships
Books you touch go out under real authors' names, on real retailer pages. Nothing here disappears into an internal deck.
Ownership, not tickets
Small team, wide scope. You will own your craft end to end rather than working through someone else's checklist.
Room to grow into it
We would rather hire someone hungry and back them than buy a job title. Strong performers pick up scope quickly.
Questions people ask
Is every role remote?
Yes. Every role we are currently hiring for is fully remote and open worldwide. We are headquartered in Nottingham, UK, and the team spans several countries — you need reliable internet and some overlap with the team, not a particular postcode.
Do I really have to record a video?
Yes, and it is the shortest part of the process. Sixty to ninety seconds, filmed on a phone, no editing. It replaces the screening call, so if we do invite you in, you are already talking to someone who has seen you. We accept Loom, an unlisted YouTube link, Google Drive or Vimeo.
What does it pay?
Based on experience, for every role. We ask what you are looking for on the application form, and we will be straight with you on the first call about whether that is in range. We would rather have that conversation early than waste your time.
What should I prepare before applying?
Your CV, and the strongest evidence you have for that specific role — a portfolio of published covers, formatted books you can talk through, a reel with real view counts, accounts you have grown, or a deal you closed. A few strong examples beat a long list.
How quickly do you move?
We aim to review applications within a few working days of your video arriving. If we would like to talk, the email we send lets you pick your own interview slot, so you are never waiting on us to suggest a time.
6 roles open. One form to start.
Apply with your CV, record a short intro video, and we will come back to you. No cover letter.
