Salaries for communications and marketing managers leapt by 37 per cent to £70,000 this year, with competition for digital marketing bosses remaining fierce, according to Emolument.com.

The salary benchmarking site said hefty pay rises were also being offered up in corporate banking, with associates also pocketing a 37 per cent jump to £82,000, up from £60,000 in 2015.

It found that technology firms competing with the banks for top talent in the IT sector had also pushed up pay, with Java developers seeing a 12 per cent increase to £58,000 this year.

Alice Leguay, Emolument co-founder and chief operating officer, said: “Despite high-delta remuneration, finance jobs are not topping our table. Instead, professionals in sectors emerging as game changers such as IT and digital marketing are hot property and those with some experience command fast-increasing pay packages.

“With the financial sector making a huge push to develop their fintech services, we expect to see IT climb even faster in the coming years.”
