Salary:

150000.00 - 200000.00 USD / Year

Job Description:

You'll own Middesk's data-driven storytelling for national media. This role turns real-time news cycles, government and fraud trends, and Middesk data into timely, credible insights that earn coverage in top-tier outlets. This is not a content marketing role or a PR generalist role. It's an investigative research and analytical storytelling role for someone who can read the news, spot where data adds clarity, conduct original research, and work closely with a data scientist to produce insights journalists actually want.

Job Responsibility:

  • Original research & investigations: Lead deep, proactive research that uncovers novel insights
  • Data-driven media storytelling: Own Middesk's external, data-led media narratives
  • News cycle & trend intelligence: Proactively identify moments where Middesk data can add signal, context, or counterpoint to the public conversation
  • Partnership with data science: Work in tight partnership with a dedicated data scientist
  • Media narrative packaging & pitching: Develop complete, media-ready story packages
  • Credibility & quality bar: Act as the final editorial checkpoint for all external data stories

Requirements:

  • 8+ years in data storytelling, investigative journalism, investigative reporting, research, or insight-driven content roles
  • Proven experience conducting original research including filing FOI/FOIA requests, analyzing public records, and synthesizing academic or regulatory sources
  • Experienced interviewing academics, experts, regulators, customers, and subject-matter experts to build depth and credibility
  • Proven experience turning research and data into stories that land in national or top-tier media
  • Strong instinct for news value: you know what's interesting now
  • Comfortable working closely with data scientists and questioning assumptions
  • Clear, disciplined writer who can explain complex findings without oversimplifying
  • Calm under pressure and comfortable working on tight timelines
  • Calmly opinionated: you can defend narrative choices without being rigid
  • Motivated by clarity, credibility, and long-term impact, not content volume or trends
