The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading news organisations, recognised internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. It is part of Nikkei Inc., which provides a broad range of information, news and services for the global business community.
The Financial Times is looking for an East Africa correspondent, one of the most exciting and challenging jobs in the FT’s global network. The correspondent will have a flair for writing and a passion to cover one of the most dynamic regions of Africa.
The role is based in Nairobi.
Top priority will be coverage of Ethiopia, a country of 110m people with an Asian-style development model that has produced double-digit growth for more than a decade. Under Abiy Ahmed, the prime minister, the country is now undergoing a radical political and economic shift that will test its ability to stay on course, but could result in one of the most positive stories in Africa in decades.
Key Responsibilities And Duties
Who We Are Looking For
The successful candidate must be capable of writing economic and business stories in a fragmented environment where data is not readily available and numbers are not always large enough to excite desks in London. The correspondent should be prepared to work and flourish in a challenging environment. The ability to work in French would be useful.
All staff are welcome to apply for Editorial vacancies as part of a flexible working arrangement. If you believe this role can be managed part-time or as a job share then please provide details as part of your application. All proposals will be seriously considered. While approval will be conditional on the demands of the role and team, the FT is committed to being responsive to the needs of its staff and the different ways they may want to work.
Applications should be made via Workday by 12 November 2019.
