Life at FT Strategies

Life at FT Strategies is collaborative, fast-paced and purpose-led.

Our team works across markets, clients and disciplines, bringing together strategy, data, commercial thinking and industry expertise. We are united by a shared ambition: to help build a more sustainable future for news and media organisations around the world.

Because we are a growing consultancy, our people have the opportunity to make a visible contribution. You’ll work closely with senior colleagues, build trusted client relationships and take ownership earlier than you might in a larger organisation.

But high performance here is not about working alone. We believe great work happens when people feel supported, included and able to grow. That means making time for feedback, coaching, team connection, learning and celebration.

BENEFITS

Health, wellbeing and opportunity as standard

As part of the Financial Times, all FT Strategies employees receive the same generous package of benefits as our colleagues in other parts of the business, though as a start-up within an established institution, we offer some unique additional benefits. Some of the highlights are featured below. Further information on the Financial Times' Benefits & Wellbeing Programme can be found here.

Bonus Scheme

Our bonus scheme ensures the success our employees create is recognised and appropriately and generously rewarded.

Flexible Working

All employees have the option to work from home for two days each week.

Gym Membership

To help employees stay active and healthy, we offer access to more than 1,700 gyms across the UK from just £2.95 a month with a subsidised plan on Wellhub.
