Data Journalist

The Financial Times is seeking a data journalist or data scientist to join its award-winning Visual and Data Journalism team. This role is in the team’s database projects group, which specialises in sourcing the data underpinning some of the FT’s highest-profile projects. Its recent work has included creating and maintaining coronavirus trackers as well as the poll tracking and live-updating electoral data from the 2020 US and 2019 UK elections. The team’s computational journalism examined the gender pay gap in UK companies, tracked populatist online influence campaigns and enabled FT investigations that uncovered irregularities in Congo’s presidential election.
