Social media data visualization specialist

Summary

Qwoted connects journalists with the experts, brands, and small businesses who can actually help them tell a story. We're the matchmaker between "I need a source by 3pm" and "I have exactly the person you need." Along the way, we end up sitting on a genuinely interesting pile of data about how PR and journalism actually work day to day, and we want someone who can turn that into stories worth sharing.

We need a data-savvy storyteller to dig into Qwoted's own platform data and pull out the kind of insight that makes people stop scrolling and hit share. You'll look at real patterns in how journalists request sources and how PR pros pitch them, then turn what you find into visuals and short write-ups that work on social and have a real shot at getting picked up by media outlets.

You need to be comfortable pulling apart a dataset before you ever open a design tool.

What you'll do

• 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

What you bring

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

Technical Skills

• 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

$45 - $65 an hour

You must have a portfolio of data-based interactive graphics/videos that have been used in social media posts to qualify for this position.
