The role
FT Academy is the Financial Times' learning business, helping individuals and organisations develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed through world-class professional learning experiences.
Combining the FT's trusted journalism, expert faculty and practical learning design, FT Academy offers executive education, professional development courses, board education and educational resources for schools.
As our business continues to grow, we're bringing our learning products together under a more connected offering, creating an exciting opportunity to support our marketing activity and help us reach new audiences.
We're looking for an organised, creative and enthusiastic Marketing Intern to join our team, reporting to the Head of Marketing, FT Academy UK.
This is a varied, hands-on opportunity to gain practical experience across different areas of marketing, including email campaigns, social media, content creation, digital marketing, audience research and events.
You'll help deliver marketing campaigns across the FT Academy portfolio, including the FT Board Director Programme and FT Executive Programmes, working closely with colleagues in Marketing, Commercial, Operations and Brand & Design.
From writing social media posts and creating marketing emails to researching prospective customers and updating website content, you'll play an active part in supporting our campaigns and commercial objectives.
We're looking for someone curious, proactive and eager to learn. You don't need extensive professional marketing experience – what matters most is your enthusiasm, attention to detail and willingness to develop new skills.
