Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Qwoted connects journalists with experts, brands, and small businesses to facilitate sourcing for stories. The company is seeking a data-savvy storyteller to analyze platform data, identify compelling insights, and create social-media-ready visualizations and write-ups with potential for earned media coverage.
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
Skills
- A knack for finding the interesting thread in a boring dataset
- Experience creating data visualization to get earned media pickup, not just internal reporting
- A sense of how to translate graphs and data for social carousels (or videos) on social platforms
- Ability to create interactive visuals
- 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
- Newsroom or journalism background is a bonus
- East Coast hours or general US-based availability preferred for overlap with our team
Benefits
- Remote work
