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
