Responsibilities

• Analyze Qwoted's platform data (pitch activity, source requests, response rates, demographic patterns, beat trends, etc.) to find angles worth telling
• Build clean charts and graphics that are social media ready
• Write short, punchy captions and summaries that explain the "so what" in plain English, built for social feeds first
• Package findings with enough supporting data and context that a journalist could plausibly write a full story off of it (stats, methodology notes, a quote-ready line or two, sources)
• Suggest new angles as you spend time in the data. We don't want someone who just executes a list, we want someone who spots things we haven't asked about yet

Requirements

• Working knowledge of data analysis tools (SQL, R, Python) and visualization platforms (Observable, Flourish, etc.)
• Experience with design and motion graphics tools (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects; also Canva or Affinity), plus data visualization/mapping tools (Mapcreator, Flourish, Infogram, Esri, Observable)
• Familiarity with front-end frameworks/libraries such as Svelte, D3.js, and Three.js for building and organizing interactive projects
• Experience with cloud hosting and deployment tools (e.g., Google Cloud, Fastly) for publishing work
• You must have a portfolio of data-based interactive graphics/videos that have been used in social media posts to qualify for this position.
• A knack for finding the interesting thread in a boring dataset
• Experience creating data visualization to get earned media pickup
• A sense of how to translate graphs and data for social carousels (or videos) on social platforms
• Ability to create interactive visuals

Preferred

• Newsroom or journalism background is a bonus
• East Coast hours or general US-based availability preferred for overlap with our team
