Data Visualisation Specialist

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of processing complex datasets, and critically, in then designing high-impact graphics for data presentation. Experience in web scraping and API integration, and the technical coding skills to enable data acquisition from a dynamic range of web sources is also an important element of the role.

Experience with platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, Datawrapper, and ESRI would be advantageous, but the overarching requirement for the role is demonstrable portfolio evidence of the design of high-impact data graphics. Please ensure that you include with your application a link to your portfolio or a selection of examples of your work.

Candidates must be interested in research and geo-political intelligence, and the data aspects that can shine a light on complex and emerging geo-political and security topics. The role will include work as part of joint projects with our thematic and specialist teams, including Geospatial analysis, and individual investigations.

Candidates should have a critical eye and an inquisitive and investigative nature, being able to identify what is important and what is not, and possess the skills to extract that information and deliver clear and insightful outputs. Project management skills will also be an advantage.
