Speculative Application

Prologue is an independent bookshop at Weir Mill in Stockport, complete with a bar, speciality coffee shop and dedicated event space. A new concept for the North, in a huge, dedicated unit, Prologue is fast becoming the go-to destination for book lovers, coffee drinkers and culture seekers across the region.

We’re a young business with big ambitions, and our team is growing with us. We don’t always have the right vacancy open at the right time, so if you’d love to be part of Prologue but can’t see a role that fits, we’d still like to hear from you.

Send us a speculative application and we’ll keep your details on file. When a role comes up that suits your skills and experience, we’ll be in touch.

Tell us which department you’d most like to work in:

• Bookselling: helping customers find their next read, hand-selling, stock and displays
• F&B: speciality coffee and our daytime café, plus wine, beer and cocktails at the bar
• Events: author talks, book clubs, live music, launches and private hire
• Marketing: social media, content, newsletters and campaigns
• Operations: the systems, admin and logistics that keep everything running

Our team works across the whole space, so most roles mix more than one of these.

It’s the person that matters most to us. These core traits and behaviours are a good indicator of being a fit for our team across all roles:

• You love hospitality and take pride in creating great customer experiences
• You’re also partial to a good book
• You’re a great communicator who connects easily with people from all walks of life
