• Provide partners with updated marketing materials, book assets, and sales kits
• Initiate and support joint campaigns, seasonal promotions, exhibitions, and trade events

🎯 Why This Role Matters

This is not just about managing orders — it’s about unlocking long-term growth through excellent operations and partner care. Currently, international publishers generate up to 25% of total sales — and with a more structured, focused approach, this number can grow significantly.
