We're Hiring!

Want a job where you get to lie on a hammock on a desert island, with topless waiters bringing you a never ending stream of pina coladas while George Clooney gently fans you as you snooze? No, us neither, which is why we’ve opted for second best and landed up at The Handbook.

The Handbook is a fast growing online magazine, and we’re looking for someone to join our expanding and dynamic team to sell, sell, sell! Officially rated 65% better looking, 20% more charming and 5-6% funnier than our competitors, you’ll be joining a winning team. Plus, we can promise you a fun challenge, half-decent banter plus a share of the daily deliveries of free food.

Throughout the pandemic we continued to grow rapidly, in terms of what we write (from food, drink and travel to fashion and beauty) and commercially too, scoring our best financial year ever in 2020! So now we want to consolidate that success by hiring a ‘target-driven individual’ (i.e. you or the mate you forward this to) to join us as Partnerships Manager, bringing more wonderful hotel, restaurant, clubs and bar clients into The Handbook family.
