dp DIGITAL PUBLISHERS Group – Europe-wide, remote-friendly – Reports to Managing Director

If you’re working in community management, audience development, or reader engagement at a book platform, distributor, or publisher — and you’re ready for the next step — this might be for you.

We’re an independent digital-first publisher across three language markets: German, English, and French. Commercial fiction — romance, crime thriller, suspense — is what we do. This is a newly created role: you’ll own our reader and reviewer community strategy across all three markets, build and lead a small team, and connect community growth directly to commercial outcomes.

About us

Our vision is to publish entertaining literary content in all languages and across all formats for the commercial success of both dp, our authors and our partners. We’re Germany’s leading independent digital publisher with a focus on publishing commercial fiction predominantly in the Crime, Thriller and Romance genres. We are proud to work with bestselling authors including Rachel Reid (HBO Heated Rivalry/ Game Changers series), Saskia Louis, Rina Kent, Rhys Bowen, Stacy Reid and Ella Quinn. It takes a whole team of dedicated professionals with a passion for words, stories and design to create our ebooks and audiobooks. We’d love to hear from you if you can share these values and vision.

The Role

As Manager Growth & Community you will own the group’s reader and reviewer community strategy and its broader growth agenda across all three language markets. This is a newly created role reporting directly to the Managing Director.
You will build and lead the Community Marketing team — currently comprising a Digital Marketing Executive and an incoming Junior Community Executive — and work closely with your counterpart, the Senior Manager Key Account & Performance, on shared revenue targets and commercial strategy.
This is not a content creation role. It is a strategic and analytical position for someone who understands how reader communities drive commercial outcomes in digital publishing and who can build the structures, audiences, and programmes that make that happen at scale. 

What You Will Own

• The group’s reader, listener, and reviewer community strategy across DE, EN, and FR markets
• Leadership and development of the Community Marketing team
• Growth strategy: expanding audience reach and deepening reader loyalty across all catalogue segments
• Community platforms, newsletter programmes, and influencer and blogger relationships
• Organic social media presence across all dp brands and markets
• Community and audience-focused data analysis: reader segmentation, genre fit, engagement patterns — translating insights into actionable strategy 
• Cross-functional collaboration with the Performance Marketing team on audience-building campaigns that support long-term revenue generation
• Close collaboration with the Editorial team on title positioning and launch planning
• Identification of new growth channels and audience segments ahead of catalogue expansion
