Joining FT Specialist has been without a doubt



the best career move I’ve made.

TITLE: Biopharma Breaking News Reporter (UK-based) 

SALARY: £45,000 to £55,000

LOCATION: UK

EXPERIENCE: One to two years

DESCRIPTION: 

Endpoints News is seeking a UK-based junior biotech and pharma reporter to join our breaking news team, who will work closely with our global editors to help write stories for our morning newsletter.

In this role, you’ll write two to three stories a day and will cover daily news on the biotech and pharma industries. You’ll coordinate closely with our US-based team and our other editors, getting ahead of the American morning to get our coverage out on time.

Stories range from a few hundred words on fast-moving news items like clinical trial results, M&A deals and CEO changes, to longer reporting-driven pieces on business and scientific developments. You’ll react to news and write a lot of copy, and we’re busy enough that there will be ample opportunities for ambitious candidates to hunt scoops and get involved in bigger projects as they learn the beat and grow as a journalist.

You’re the right candidate if you have one to two years of experience covering biotech, pharma or medical science for a trade or specialty publication. You should know what a p-value is and the difference between a biologic and a small molecule, and be ready to expand your skills as a reporter and writer with coaching and support from the team.

This role is part of a group of journalists who report to our deputy editor for newsletters.

WHO WE ARE:

Endpoints News, a leading B2B media company, was founded in 2016 with a clear mission: deliver the best news product in biopharma and become an essential read for industry leaders across the globe. Seven years later, we now have 164,000 subscribers and a team of journalists and staff in the US, Europe, and Asia. We’re read daily by thousands of innovative biotechs and every top 50 pharmaceutical company in the world. Our editorial ambitions continue to grow as we complement our breaking news and daily analysis with original scoops, in-depth features and live journalism at the industry’s most important gatherings.

We are now a part of the Financial Times family.

TITLE: Biotech and Pharma News Editor (UK-based) 

SALARY: £55-85,000 

LOCATION: United Kingdom

Experience: 5+ years

DESCRIPTION: Endpoints News is seeking a UK-based editor to work closely with our US team on our daily news and longer-term coverage planning. 

We’re an ambitious specialty publication with more than 160,000 subscribers, and we publish three newsletters a day covering the waterfront in the biopharma industry. In the role, you’ll help drive our industry-leading coverage of the most important breaking news, as well as work on scoops and smart analysis. 

We start early in the US morning, and a typical day will involve coordinating with our Asia team to spot breaking news and then working with our US reporters as they log on. We cover everything that matters in biopharma: fast news hits, complex medical studies, major M&A deals, VC fundraising and corporate layoffs and reorganizations. 

You’ll help journalists find the right angle for the story, talk through reporting and writing, and work on their copy. As the day goes on and the pace of breaking news abates, you’ll hand off our coverage to the rest of the US team and have opportunities to get involved in longer-lead projects.

Our newsroom includes approximately 20 reporters and editors, and we expect to grow substantially this year. As one of our editors, you’ll work with our more experienced journalists as well as early-career reporters who are still learning the beat, and we’re looking for candidates with a passion for helping people grow their careers and their skills. In turn, we’ll expand your horizons as an editor and give you a chance to get involved in ambitious, complex and competitive journalism.

Candidates should have 5+ years of editing experience, and time at a specialty publication, trade publication or newswire. Experience editing or writing about biopharma and business is a major advantage. The role will work closely with our deputy editor for newsletters and report to our executive editor.

Money-Media Fellowship

Ready to cut your teeth in a working newsroom? Money-Media, a division of the Financial Times seeks recent college grads interested in pursuing a career in journalism to join us.

What We’re Offering:

This is a one-year, full-time fellowship role, with benefits. The program runs from September to the following August. We want people eager to chase the news and tell the stories most important to our readers.

No experience in the field? No worries.

We can teach you how to rip through the jargon and get to the heart of a story. All you need is to bring is a desire to dig, openness to learning and interest in pursuing a career in news.

And if you’ve never considered business journalism, tell us that too! Many of us started the same way but ended up discovering something we never expected and sticking around.

What You’ll Do:

Money-Media fellows will rotate through different teams over the one-year period, gaining exposure to various beats and editing styles. We are a family of 11 publications, each of which targets professionals in a specific field, such as asset management, wealth management, insurance or consumer packaged goods (think: things you can buy in the supermarket).

Our reporters tell stories in writing, through video and graphics. We break news in our industries and dive deep, so you will develop skills in interviewing, parsing documents, producing hard news and crafting features.  Reporters also might travel to meet sources at industry conferences.

You will work with editors and attend team and company meetings. You’ll get clips, develop sources and see first-hand how newsrooms operate. In addition, you will meet regularly with a group managing editor for coaching or to discuss career or other questions you might have.

Who We Are:

Our titles target decision-makers at financial service companies, corporate directors overseeing businesses you already know, and design and marketing execs at leading consumer brands. We delve into issues that affect everyday people: saving for retirement, building personal wealth, choosing insurance. We also hold these business leaders accountable by examining whether they do what they say when it comes to fighting climate change, fostering diversity and inclusion and other initiatives addressing environmental, social and governance issues.

We write about the stories behind the businesses we cover, and the people that make those companies tick.

As part of the FT, Money-Media is well-resourced and belongs to a global network. In line with our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we encourage those with underrepresented perspectives and experiences to apply. 

We are a company in growth mode, and frequently have new opportunities open. At the end of fellowship period, we would encourage fellows to apply for any open roles within our family of publications.
