Offering dynamic tech-driven roles and an innovation-focused culture, RELX | Reed Elsevier presents a compelling alternative to traditional outsourcing and overcrowded big tech firms for Filipino tech professionals.
From Service Excellence to Innovation Powerhouse
The Philippine technology landscape has evolved over the past decade, shifting from a predominantly outsourcing-focused market to an emerging innovation hub. RELX | Reed Elsevier is at the forefront of this transformation—building one of the region’s most trusted technology operations and empowering Filipino professionals to contribute solutions that impact millions of users worldwide.
Over the past 14 years, RELX | Reed Elsevier’s operations have seen a strategic transformation from editorial operations to providing complex services across the entire value chain..

Here, they’re able to supportAI systems that don’t just guess—they know.
“Our IT experts in the Philippines are part of global teams working on the cutting edge of decision tools, analytics, and AI-powered systems. Their innovations help professionals and business leaders achieve greater outcomes: helping lawyers draft sophisticated contracts, enabling researchers to develop life-saving drugs, providing data-based solutions to prevent financial fraud, and many more” explains Mark Lwin, Managing Director at RELX | Reed Elsevier. “From cloud engineering to software development, to data science, the impact of their work contributes to products which influence real-world outcomes that matter.”
Upskilling Filipino Talent for the Future of Work
The World Economic Forum has identified skill gaps as one of the biggest barriers to business transformation. In response, RELX | Reed Elsevier established One RELX | Reed Elsevier University—a mentorship and learning initiative that empowers employees to continuously grow their capabilities.
Through this program, Filipino professionals gain access to specialized learning paths across sales enablement, data analytics, finance, Python, and technology leadership among others. Beyond technical skills, the company also prioritizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation skills that transcend any single programming language or platform.
“I began my career at RELX | Reed Elsevier as a Data Maintenance Specialist, progressed through multiple roles, and eventually transitioned into a Software Engineer,” shares Jason, one of RELX | Reed Elsevier’s many success stories. “With each new role, the company provided comprehensive training, feedback, and assessments that helped me understand my strengths and identify areas for growth.”
A Culture That Champions Inclusion and Continuous Growth
Beyond upskilling, RELX | Reed Elsevier nurtures a workplace culture built on diversity, inclusivity, and belonging. Its Employee Circles—including Women’s Circle, Pride Circle, Enabled (Disability), Mosaic (Multiculturalism), and Soul Circle (Religious Tolerance)—foster an environment where diverse perspectives and communities thrive together.
