About Us

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. FT people come from all kinds of backgrounds and work across a huge range of disciplines and locations, and find an empowering, warm and welcoming culture that values curiosity and rewards smart, ambitious thinking. Those who are willing to unite around our mission and live our values will find plenty to challenge, inspire and interest them. Like the audiences we serve, no two FT people are the same; but together we help our audience be better informed and understand the world around them. It’s a job that’s never mattered more, and a career that can take you anywhere you want to go.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace

At the FT, we aim for employees across all regions to have a voice so that diverse perspectives are heard and valued. 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. We'll continue to remove barriers for all, and in particular barriers facing employees from underrepresented groups.

The Role / Position Overview

The ten member brand and partnerships team that you will be part of is in the central Corporate Communications and Marketing Group, and plays a pivotal role in providing direction, consistency and creative support to other promotional teams across the business. The most important aspect of this role is therefore working with, influencing and supporting colleagues across the organisation, to ensure that the brand is effectively aligned with company wide objectives and marketing activities. The successful candidate will be convincing and confident; be pragmatic and be a team player. This role is based in London, though responsible for the FT brand around the world. Other key FT locations include New York and Hong Kong, where the team has position reports to the global brand and partnerships director.

Undertake research projects into new technologies, competitor and industry reporting and analysis that may inform brand thinking and activities.  Champion the use of AI in its applications for marketing and insight.  Attend internal and external industry events, and share learnings.  Provide support to the global brand and partnerships director
