London, United Kingdom Financial Times Full time

**The role**

The Financial Times is seeking a new Deputy Managing Editor. This is a senior and demanding role at the heart of the FT, requiring clear communication, excellent judgement, commitment to fair-mindedness and a highly developed sense of professional responsibility.

The deputy managing editor must have the confidence and competence to manage a highly complex 600-person journalistic enterprise. This involves constantly responding to issues surrounding individual career development and pay, recruitment, travel, compliance, performance and welfare, while promoting an environment of consistency and equal opportunity.

At all times, they must uphold the principles enshrined in the FT Group Code of Conduct and the FT Editorial Code of Practice, and hold others to the highest standards of ethics and journalism.

This managerial role requires alertness, integrity and the discretion to handle confidential matters. Central to the day-to-day business is the willingness to have regular one-on-one discussions with journalists where the requests of the individual are balanced with the needs and the resources of the FT. The ability to problem-solve, appeal to common sense and be decisive is essential. As important is the perspective to look ahead to the FT’s future and interpret a constantly evolving media industry.

This role oversees correspondent safety, enforcing the protocols governing FT correspondents’ travel to dangerous places and anticipating risks.

This senior role will deputise for the managing editor at all levels including the Assistant Editor meetings and union consultations. The job involves line management responsibilities and oversight of non-journalistic roles within Editorial.

A sense of humour, patience and resilience are valuable. This is a testing, unrelenting operational role where standing one's ground and doing what is right in the face of argument is essential. The deputy managing editor has to be a conscientious team player who can work closely with the Managing Editor, the Editorial management team, HR and colleagues across the FT.

**Benefits**

Our benefits vary depending on location, but we are committed to providing best in class perks across all our offices as well as an inclusive environment to develop your career. Examples of our benefits include; generous annual leave allowances, flexible working (including working from home), medical cover, enhanced maternity & paternity packages, subsidised gym memberships and Giving Back opportunities.

**How we work**

Our hybrid setup means staff are expected to come into the office 3 days a week.

Our office is located across the street from St. Paul's Cathedral and is easily accessible from all corners of London. There are the main train terminals such as Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Blackfriars, City Thameslink or Waterloo all situated within walking distance or there are several tube stations within a few mins walk such as Mansion House (District or Circle line), St. Paul's (Central line), Bank (Central or Waterloo & City line) or Barbican (Central, Hammersmith & City or Metropolitan lines).

**Our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace**

The FT is committed to providing an inclusive working environment for all. We are an equal opportunities employer who seeks to recruit and appoint the best talent regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We believe that a supportive workplace is one where employees feel they can be themselves at work and have the flexibility they need to meet their personal needs.

**About the Financial Times**

The FT has an uncompromising mission: delivering independent, quality information, news and services to individuals and companies around the globe. It’s the cornerstone of our reputation and the heart of our ambitions for the future. But for our people, the FT offers so much more than what we do.
