## Job description

Business Insider is hiring a data graphics fellow to join our Creative team to support our newsroom’s visuals.

Business Insider is for people who are driven, optimistic and always looking forward. Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We tell our audience what they want and need to know to improve their lives and the world with storytelling that is accessible, smart, sometimes unexpected, and always helpful. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insider’s three core values: we are all one team, we are effective, and we strive to get better every day.

## The Role & Team

You will be expected to juggle multiple projects at once, ranging from quick-hit news stories to long-term, ambitious interactive packages.
