Contract type: Full-time, flexible hours. We are open to a part-time arrangement for the right candidate, but full-time is strongly preferred. Compensation: £80,000 to £120,000 per year, based on experience and location. Location: Our offices are in Oxford, United Kingdom, but many people in our team work remotely. We welcome applications from international candidates, though working hours should partly overlap with core UK working hours to facilitate collaboration with the team. Visa sponsorship may be considered for the right candidate, depending on individual circumstances and relocation preference. Description: We are looking for an experienced writer. The ideal candidate already writes single-authored pieces regularly and publicly for a non-specialist audience, builds arguments based on data and research, and has the range to cover many of the topics we work on. This is a senior role: the person we hire will work closely with Hannah Ritchie, our Deputy Editor. The hiring process involves a paid writing residency before any full-time offer.
