The Economist Group is the leading source of analysis on international business and world affairs. We deliver our information through a range of formats, from newspapers and magazines to conferences and digital services.

The management programme gives you a complete business education and involves working in all parts of the business and in locations around the world where the Group has commercial operations. After completing the programme successfully, you will be appointed to a management position in one of our offices.

Most of the training is in the business, working with our sales, marketing and other executives. In addition, there is around 30 days of off-the-job training. You have a sponsor from the executive board as well as a variety of mentors during the two years of training.

You must be able to work with people from a variety of social, national and ethnic backgrounds, have a strong academic record, have shown leadership potential in the past and relish the opportunity to take responsibility.

We will expect you to work hard and contribute to the business quickly. In return we will pay an excellent competitive salary plus benefits.

You must be eligible to work in at least one of the following: European Union, United States, Singapore or Hong Kong.

We hope to run the programme again in 2013 and will advertise more details early next year.
