The Role

We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This role will support global Customer Revenue Growth (CRG) campaigns and initiatives across our multi-product portfolio. The Product Marketing Manager is pivotal in driving go-to-market strategic planning and delivery - ensuring seamless execution and performance optimisation through effective cross-functional collaboration.

You will work closely with Marketing, Product, Data and Editorial teams to plan, launch, and optimise multi-product campaigns and initiatives, ensuring these resonate with our audiences and achieve commercial impact. Exceptional interpersonal communication, comfort in complexity, and bias toward action are needed to succeed in this role. In addition to driving cross-functional projects forward, you will be responsible for consistently supervising product performance, identifying meaningful trends and providing actionable insights in commercial trading meetings to advise future strategies.

Reporting to the Senior Product Marketing Manager, you will be part of the Product Marketing team within Consumer Marketing. You will gain exposure to all of the FT’s consumer-facing products, every day working closely with strategic and tactical teams across the business to drive growth across the portfolio.

• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Data and Editorial teams to ensure campaigns are strategically positioned and optimally driven.
• Supervise and analyse product performance, working closely with Business Performance to supervise success, identify trends, and provide actionable insights.

• Support broader product marketing initiatives, including audience segmentation, messaging development, and new product launches.
• Proactively identify challenges and opportunities, using data-driven insights to optimise campaign performance and overcome obstacles.

Who We’re Looking For

• Someone who asks the right questions and seeks pragmatic solutions.
• A strategic and commercially minded marketer with coordinated planning experience.
• Curious and driven, always looking for opportunities to improve efficiency and drive growth.
• A strong collaborator - someone who can work effectively with multiple teams and senior collaborators, and navigate complexity to deliver results.
• Proficient with data, demonstrating an ability to translate meaningful insights into actions.
• A desire and ability to work autonomously, take ownership of projects, and lead initiatives with confidence.
