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.
