Future plc launches eCommerce graduate programme

Future plc, the multi-platform media company, has launched an eCommerce Graduate Programme underlining its ambition in this area and commitment to supporting individuals in the media looking to build a successful career in the digital media industry.

Successful candidates will join the organisation in July and work across four different areas of eCommerce over 12 months. During the year candidates will gain a detailed understanding of every area of eCommerce and skills spanning Content Creation, Data & Trend Analysis, Product Development and Commercial Sales. Upon completion of the year long programme, each graduate will have the opportunity to join one of our teams full time. 

As one of the strategic pillars of Future’s strength, eCommerce continues to be an area of growth for the organisation. Matthew Smith, Managing Director of eCommerce says:

“eCommerce has been one of Future’s fastest growing revenue streams in the last 5 years, with significant double digit growth every year, and last financial year we generated over £79m in revenue for Future. We now drive roughly 70,000 sales for our partners every single day, which is the equivalent of a sale almost every second, and we have partnerships with the world’s largest retailers from Amazon to Walmart, John Lewis & Disney. Future has become a global leader in affiliate marketing, at the cutting edge of eCommerce content and price comparison technology.” 

The graduate programme provides an outstanding opportunity for interested individuals to join a highly motivated, successful and ambitious team whilst learning all about publisher eCommerce and affiliate marketing.
