**Contract**: Full time, Permanent, 37.5 hours per week
**Global Water Intelligence (GWI)**, the leading publisher, intelligence firm and events organiser serving the international water industry, is looking to **hire a hardworking and enthusiastic Data Editor to join our team.**
At GWI we collect a huge amount of data and are the main source of data for the international water industry. Our data and analysis is used by businesses, governments and investors to inform strategic decisions on the water sector.

- **Analyse and visualise data**: Working with large datasets comes with challenges, so effective data analysis and visualisation is essential to draw out the interesting stories hiding behind the data. You will help analyse and develop visualisations to understand the present and future of the market.
- **Clearly communicate information**: Our customers rely on our numbers to help validate their business decisions. To earn that trust we need to communicate our methods and assumptions clearly. The same challenge applies internally. You will play a key role in data related co-ordination and communication within teams and to clients.
- **Interview people and understand the context behind the numbers**: The best way to check data validity is to speak to the publishers and data owners. We need people who can proactively network with individuals to source the data and validate its accuracy.

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex data systems to the wider team
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, including taking initiative, showing ownership of tasks, and managing your time

- Familiarity with financial accounts and corporate structures of companies
- Experience using Excel (including PivotTables or Power Query)
