We’re looking for a sharp editorial mind to help lead Beautiful News — our evidence-based optimism project — while supporting selected Information is Beautiful projects.
This is a rare opportunity to join our fully remote creative team and work directly with author and founder David McCandless on ambitious, unusual and socially impactful projects seen by millions around the world.
You’ll help research, shape, publish and amplify stories about progress, solutions and positive change across articles, newsletters, social media, short-form video and more.
We’re looking for someone who is curious, proactive and comfortable moving between research, writing, ideas and production. You might be a writer who researches, a researcher who writes, or a storyteller who loves data, visuals and making complex things understandable.
You’ll probably have experience in journalism, publishing, communications, policy, academia or a similarly editorial environment — and ideally already know and love what we do.
The role is:
- Freelance
- Part-time (approximately 3 days per week initially)
- Fully remote
- Flexible and asynchronous
- Low-meeting, high-trust and highly autonomous
If the idea of helping create the next generation of visual journalism and positive news sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.
Applications close Monday 20th July.
