At the FT, we aim for employees across all regions to have a voice so that diverse perspectives are heard and valued.

**Desirable skills and experience**

Knowledge of the following would be advantageous though full training will be provided:

- HTML / CSS / Javascript
- Asana or other similar project management software
- Animation and video editing packages such as Premiere and After Effects
