About the Role

We are seeking a talented Data Journalist to join our Communications department at Carwow Group. As a Data Journalist, you will be responsible for harnessing the power of data to tell compelling stories that support our daily PR, Editorial & Outreach efforts.

With a passion for getting under the skin of the automotive industry, you will work closely with our content editors and writers, PR team, and agencies to pitch, develop, and refine stand-out stories and data visualisations. Your enthusiasm and energy will be essential in handling daily deadlines, and your strong attention to detail will ensure that your work is of the highest quality.

Key Responsibilities
  • Source, clean, and analyse data to produce a regular stream of stories for Carwow Group's suite of brands and trading rhythm.
  • Examine and report on published data to identify new stories or provide context, analysis, and news lines on the biggest stories of the day.
  • Work closely with the PR & Comms team to news jack and bring to life key topical moments as they arrive.
  • Pitch, develop, and deliver original data-driven, news investigations, and come up with innovative ways to present them.
  • Work independently or alongside our in-house designers and developers to create compelling visualisations and interactives.
  • Negotiate with public bodies, trade associations, businesses, and academics for data and open records, plus gather information via Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
  • Lead the way in explaining data journalism to our internal audiences.
  • Understand the team's OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) and priorities in order to provide solutions that help them achieve their PR goals.
  • Create the space for the business to ideate and innovate, observing and reporting on competitor behaviour to help Carwow stand out in a crowded market.
  • Work closely with the Analytics team to ensure you are utilising the right datasets and metric definitions that are consistent with our business.
What You'll Need
  • Excellent writing skills, comfortable with producing news releases, extended feature articles, and investigative reports - all based on data.
  • You're never satisfied with a summary - you can find 'the story within a story' and connect events to the bigger picture.
  • Enthusiasm and energy required to handle daily deadlines.
  • Strong attention to detail, even under time pressure.
  • Passion, drive, and a can-do approach.
  • The ability to visualise complex ideas in clear, accurate, and creative ways.
  • Strong journalistic judgement and editorial values.
  • Strong understanding of Excel / Google Sheets.
  • A good understanding of statistics and statistical analysis, plus how to visualise data, using tools like Flourish, Datawrapper, QGIS, or d3.
  • Experience in using programming languages for data analysis, such as SQL.
  • Knowledge of web development programming languages like HTML/CSS and JavaScript is an advantage.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent work experience in a newsroom / journalist setting.
What's in It for You
  • Hybrid working.
  • Competitive salary to fund that dream holiday to Bali.
  • Matched pension contributions for a peaceful retirement.
  • Share options - when we thrive, so do you.
  • Vitality Private Healthcare, for peace of mind, plus eyecare vouchers.
  • Life Assurance for (even more) peace of mind.
  • Monthly coaching sessions with Spill - our mental wellbeing partner.
  • Enhanced holiday package, plus Bank Holidays.
  • 28 days annual leave.
  • 1 day for your wedding.
  • 1 day off when you move house - because moving is hard enough without work.
  • For your third year anniversary, get 30 days of annual leave per year.
  • For your tenth year anniversary, get 35 days of annual leave per year.
  • Option to buy 3 extra days of holiday per year.
  • Work from abroad for a month.
  • Inclusive parental, partner, and shared parental leave, fertility treatment, and pregnancy loss policies.
  • Bubble childcare support and discounted nanny fees for the little ones.
  • The latest tech (Macbook or Surface) to power your gif-sending talents.
  • Up to £500/€550 home office allowance for that massage chair you've been talking about.
  • Generous learning and development budget to help you master your craft.
  • Regular social events: tech lunches, coffee with the exec sessions, book clubs, social events/anything else you pester us for.
  • Refer a friend, get paid. Repeat for infinite money.
  • Lunch & learns and Carwow Classrooms with expert speakers who are here for a free lunch.

Diversity and inclusion is an integral part of our culture. We know that diverse teams are strong teams, so we welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply for this position. We make recruiting decisions based on experience, skills, and potential, so all our applicants are treated fairly and equally.
