Hachette Hybrid

Please note our current hybrid model is two days per week in the office. Effective in January 2025, HBG’s hybrid model will be 3 days in-office, 2 days working from home. The goal of our hybrid working model is to combine the best aspects of working in our offices and working from our homes and elsewhere, and to provide the best support to our staff, our business, our customers, and our authors. In connection with Hachette Hybrid, HBG offers a Flex Four benefit: for four weeks every year, all full-time HBG employees will be able to work 100% remotely (with the exception of those whose roles require full time on-site presence, such as Facilities and Warehouse colleagues).

HBG’s staff is driven by a shared passion for books—and a desire to make significant contributions to culture. From editing to marketing to design, the HBG team is dedicated to bringing out exceptional content, whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, children’s literature, or audiobooks. HBG publishes major bestsellers and timely books that are part of the national conversation, and introduces exciting new voices to readers.

A Collaborative Team

HBG publishes outstanding books in print, ebook, and audio formats, but also continually explores new ways to share HBG authors’ work on online platforms. As the U.S. division of a major global publisher with offices all around the world, HBG is a large company that manages to maintain the feel of a smaller, collegial publishing house where individual employees feel welcomed and supported. The company cultivates a culture in which everyone is ready to help one another in service of readers and authors.

For people who are enthusiastic about books and culture, working at an energetic, forward-thinking publisher like HBG is a dream job. The company culture centers on valuing and supporting employees, and transparency and communication are paramount. Staff members are encouraged to use their strengths and challenge themselves and make their voices heard. HBG employees work hard, but they also have fun together. Whether they’re playing pool and eating pizza at the “Third Thursday” get-together every month or enjoying a group sci-fi movie night, Hachette’s team maintains an environment of shared passion and camaraderie.
