FT Alphaville seeks writer

The Financial Times has a vacancy for an Alphaville Reporter in conjunction with the brand’s relaunch as a paywalled product. The position will ideally be based out of London, but other locations are negotiable.

Key skills:

• Enthusiasm for digital journalism and/or blogging is essential

• Natural flare for unearthing important new trends in opaque corners of the financial, technological and corporate world.

• Good grasp of how social media works

• Keen to develop their online journalistic profiles

• Excellent editing skills

• Engage with our audience through social media

Who we are looking for

All in all, you’ll have a good sense of humor, a critical mind, thick skin and might even know how to manipulate a spreadsheet or fix a line or two of HTML.
