Newsletters and Social Media Editor, Asia

The Financial Times is hiring a newsletters and social media editor to join our Hong Kong newsroom. Newsletters and social media are a core part of the FT’s engagement strategy. As the FT continues to bring digital storytelling into the heart of our news operation, we need talented digital journalists focused on producing innovative journalism across our onsite and off-site platforms. This role will be the Asia lead for the FT’s newsletter and social media teams, which span London and New York. The role involves regularly writing the Europe/Africa edition of the flagship daily FirstFT morning briefing, as well as occasional composing, editing and promoting of other Financial Times newsletters. The role is also responsible for overseeing the FT’s social media output during the Asia newsday and coordinating across time zones in the early UK morning. As such, a deep familiarity with social media best practices is essential, as is an eagerness to contribute to newsroom content planning discussions. A successful candidate will be a self-starter who is passionate about getting ahead of the day’s big stories. Close collaboration with the greater newsletters and Audience Engagement teams is a key part of the role, as the team helps drive creative and dynamic journalism across the FT’s global editorial operations.
