Build a newsworthy career at the FT.

This varied and exciting role involves commissioning and editing stories across our UK coverage, from politics and economics to business and policy stories.
You will work alongside a close-knit team of editors to shepherd the FT’s coverage of the UK as Labour grapples with the broken British state, the country tries to snap out of a prolonged period of economic stagnation, and Reform UK challenges the two-party system.
You will combine speed and accuracy in editing breaking stories with the confidence to shape longer pieces of reporting. The role involves not just commissioning reporters, but also working with our picture, design and data teams to ensure stories are as compelling as possible.
Working closely with reporters across the newsroom to generate fresh ideas for stories is an important aspect of the role, as is keeping abreast of our rivals’ coverage. From time to time you will be expected to manage the desk and present stories in conference.
