Financial Times, London
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Editorial Technology team, helping build the tools journalists and editors use to compose, manage, and publish world-class journalism.
You’ll build experiences across Spark, our newsroom content management system (CMS), and related editorial tools supporting written stories, video and audio.
This role involves working on intricate products that directly aid journalism production at the FT. Work often starts without a clear brief or defined project. You will need to be comfortable investigating problems, grasping detailed workflows, and helping decide the appropriate course.
Collaborating with product managers, engineers, and newsroom colleagues, you'll merge user research, systems thinking, and strong design skills to develop intuitive, accessible tools for expert users.
You'll also consider how editorial tools interact with the reader experiences they facilitate across our website and apps, partnering with our Customer Products teams as needed.
AI is increasingly crafting editorial workflows, and you'll have chances to explore how new technologies can assist journalists and editors. These include tools that improve editorial quality and accuracy.
What’s in it for you? Our benefits
Our benefits vary by location but we are committed to providing outstanding perks across all our offices. These include generous annual leave, medical cover, inclusive parental leave packages, subsidised gym memberships and opportunities to give back to the community. Full details of our benefits are available here.
We currently operate a hybrid model which requires staff to work onsite 50% of the time, subject to role requirements & regular review. While flexible working requests will be considered, not all patterns are suitable for all roles. We believe this balanced approach supports flexibility and protects our culture, making collaboration and communication easier, encouraging positive relationships and team cohesion, and supporting peer learning. We reserve discretion on reasonable notice to change this approach either generally or for specific individuals or teams.
