Role Purpose:  

Save the Children is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic data journalist to join our global media team.

You will be brimming with original ideas for data-driven stories that highlight the challenges and trends facing children globally and also excited about how that data is presented.

You will need to have journalistic and technical skills to be able to pitch, research, report, and build data-driven stories for the world’s largest independent child rights organisation.

The ideal candidate will be able to visualise data driven stories in new and imaginative ways. You will be able to find, clean and analyse data to write stories, and create compelling visualisations as well as write stories. You will be just as comfortable creating fast turn-around on the day analysis as longer term more in-depth data led investigations. You will be happy both working on stories on your own and more collaboratively as part of our team.

 In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.
