IBTimes is looking for a triple threat — a reporter with a strong graphics background who can turn a spreadsheet into a story. Candidates should have experience creating compelling infographics, scraping websites and mapping. A strong candidate has a keen news sense and knows why word clouds are the worst.
Must have experience with Adobe Creative Suite, HTML and CSS, handling data (both large databases and a PDF table) and mapping. Experience in SEO and writing are obviously a must. ‘Awesome but not essential’ skills include: javascript (especially d3.js), APIs and webscraping, Python, illustration and photography.
International Business Times is a fast-growing, digital-first new organization based in Manhattan but with bureaus all over the world; the job can be based in New York City or San Francisco. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, portfolio and resume to Hanna Sender at h.sender@ibtimes.com
