You will work with researchers, analysts, project managers and communications colleagues to develop high-quality materials for reports, presentations, factsheets, proposals, events and digital dissemination.

Contribute, where relevant, to digital or web-based outputs such as dashboards, data portals or interactive visualisations.

Where specialist technical support is needed, help identify the right people or external expertise and define clear requirements for the output.

Familiarity with tools such as Flourish, Datawrapper or similar for data-driven charts and graphics. Strong written and spoken English, including the ability to write clear titles, captions, labels and explanatory text and communicate with clients where needed. Ability to work independently from a brief, ask the right questions and propose effective visual solutions.
