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 give all employees 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. We'll continue to remove barriers for all, and in particular barriers facing employees from underrepresented groups.
The Performance Marketing Team
FT’s consumer subscription business has reached a level of maturity and sophistication, and we are now moving into the next phase of our subscription strategy, which calls for increased customer acquisition alongside an ever-greater focus on customer needs, lifetime value (LTV) and nurturing valuable relationships.
Sitting within the Consumer Revenue Group (responsible for individual consumer subscriber revenues and profit for the FT), the Performance Marketing team is a centre of excellence, providing specialist skills and solutions to other teams within the department. We anticipate our marketing to become more technology-, logic- and data-driven and our campaigning will become more complex; thus, we need to operationalise these new capabilities. This team prioritises and provides campaign management, channel innovation, experimentation and utilisation of data and technology to improve marketing effectiveness.
The Role / Position Overview
The Performance Marketing Optimisation Executive is primarily responsible for the day-to-day progression and implementation of our onsite campaigns and onsite tests conducted on FT.com and our apps focusing on B2C audience growth and direct conversion towards an FT subscription. The candidate will also be responsible for the implementation of tests and optimisations, monitoring results and communicating regular updates to stakeholders.
The successful candidate will be an expert collaborator, self- motivated and keen to learn and acquire new skills. Ideally, we’re looking for someone with strong interpersonal and organisational skills with an interest in conversion rate optimisation and website merchandising who wants to contribute to a collaborative work environment.
Reporting to the Senior Digital Conversion Manager, the Performance Marketing Optimisation Executive acts with an inquisitive mindset to strategic marketing and will implement effective campaigns to increase performance across our suite of digital products as well as have the opportunity to propose initiatives for implementation that align with company goals. This is a role for an enthusiastic digital marketer with growing commercial acumen and an equally strong eye for detail who enjoys working with cross-functional teams and can both inspire and motivate others to innovate and increase marketing impact.
