Join BusinessDesk as a Data Journalist – Shape the Stories That Move Markets

Are you passionate about uncovering the truth behind the numbers? BusinessDesk, New Zealand’s leading business and political economy news service, is looking for a data-savvy journalist to join our dynamic newsroom. Auckland or Wellington based preferred.

What you will do :

  • BusinessDesk is New Zealand’s most comprehensive business and political economy news service.
  • Using data to scrutinize company performance and interrogate government spending is essential to our offering.
  • We are looking for a data-savvy journalist to expand our team.
  • This role involves generating your own ideas and working with BusinessDesk reporters on team stories.
  • You will find new ways of presenting and reporting on data to engage audiences and tell stories that meet international best practice – and provide a benchmark that other newsrooms around the world seek to emulate.

How you will do it :

  • You will use data to break stories which move markets and are of national significance.
  • This role involves sourcing and collating large datasets to help tell stories, including using raw financial data such as annual reports, government budgets or other datasets such as property records or electoral role data.
  • The core of this role involves either the existing ability or the ability to quickly learn to read and become confident with basic financial analysis of companies’ earnings reports, strategic updates, and major announcements.
  • You will also become familiar with economic data and government budget appropriations.
  • Planning and organisational skills :

  • Ability to take guidance and instruction / have stories assigned to you
  • Ability to work well independently, and work with other newsroom staff on team projects.
  • Technical skills :

  • Report and write stories and features with a data focus using tools such as Datawrapper and Flourish
  • Develop the skills to acquire, analyse and present data. Learn programming and use systems such as R and JavaScript.
  • Develop data interactives and visualisations.
  • Compliance :

  • As an employee of NZME you are required to familiarise yourself with and comply with all organisation policies, including but not limited to, the NZME Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards.
  • Keep yourself and others safe by adhering to NZME’s Health & Safety and wellness requirements.
  • Promote and visibly demonstrate the NZME values at all times.
  • About you :

  • Communication : You’ll be an effective communicator and will keep managers and colleagues updated on all necessary information. Relate confidently and appropriately with people inside and outside the organisation.
  • Teamwork : You’ll welcome input, respect others’ views and contribute positively to NZME as a whole.
  • Personal Growth & Development : Take responsibility for your on-going learning and make the most of personal development opportunities at NZME. Be adaptable in dealing with change.
  • All applicants will be asked about their current working rights in New Zealand (eg Citizen, resident, visa, no visa etc).
