Role Description
ProPublica is seeking a graphics editor to create information graphics for stories with real-world impact. You will work closely with ProPublica’s award-winning journalists to pitch, conceptualize, design and build:
- Charts like our explainer on the new effects of immigration
- Maps like our analysis of Wisconsin legislative districts
- Data visualizations like our look at racial disparities in child welfare investigations
- Interactive graphics like our deep dive into weakened toddler formula regulations
- Interactive graphics like the limits of plastic recycling
Your projects will range from designing static charts and maps to building interactive features that elevate our daily storytelling to experimenting with innovative forms of visualizations. You will be at the center of one of the most exciting newsrooms in the country, where every day will be a chance to work in an environment where visual storytelling is integral to the mission.
Qualifications
- Experience designing and developing polished data visualizations from scratch, using tools such as Datawrapper, Illustrator or D3.js.
- Fluency in web development, including HTML/CSS and Javascript (familiarity with the command line and git is a plus).
- An understanding of good design principles and how to design for clarity and impact.
- Experience with data, such as cleaning or analyzing data with tools such as Excel, Python or R.
- A love for details and making things.
- A deep desire to work on important accountability stories and an eagerness to help dig for the truth to help spur reform.
- A talent for translating complex topics clearly and compellingly to our audience.
- An ability to work on several projects at once. You’ll need to stay organized and focused.
Requirements
This position will report to the graphics director and will collaborate with members of our other departments including visuals, video, news apps and product, as well as reporters and story editors.
This job is full time and includes benefits. The team is distributed, so remote applicants anywhere in the U.S. are welcome. We have offices in:
- New York City
- Washington, D.C.
- Atlanta
- Chicago
- Austin, Texas
- Phoenix
- Berkeley, California
Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S. The expected salary range for this position is $100,000 to $125,000. This is a good-faith estimate of what we expect to pay for this position. The final salary figure will take into account a person’s experience, accomplishment and location. ProPublica is committed to paying its staff equitably, and these ranges should not be considered career salary limits or caps.
Getting the Job
Projects are the most important part of the application, not fancy degrees or deep resumes. Your application is a chance to show us your ability to contribute to great work.
You’ll be able to send us three projects from your portfolio (if you don’t have a portfolio, links or screenshots are fine). Here you can walk us through your contributions to those projects. Take advantage of this to tell us everything you did, from behind-the-scenes wins you’re proud of to how you helped your colleagues to what you might have done differently a second time around. Tell us what worked and what didn’t, and how that fit into the context of what was needed for the project.
We will begin reviewing applications as we receive them, but we will continue to consider candidates as long as the posting remains live on our site.
Questions? Send an email to talent@propublica.org .
No phone calls, please.
We know there are great candidates who may not fit into what we’ve described above or who have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
We are dedicated to improving our newsroom, in part by better reflecting the people we cover. We are committed to diversity and building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages. And we are taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people and people with disabilities. We are an equal opportunity employer and prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age or any other status protected under applicable law.
