Senior Data Journalist | Investigations, Data Validation & AI-Assisted Research | Up to £150k | Remote
We’re hiring a Senior Data Journalist to work directly with senior stakeholders at a company building one of the world’s largest data platforms.
This role is focused on uncovering insights from complex, messy real-world data, combining investigative thinking, validation, and technical analysis to surface meaningful stories, patterns, and risks.
You’ll be working with large-scale global company and ownership datasets, helping interrogate, validate, and explain data that powers investigative research, AI systems, and commercial intelligence products.
This is not a traditional newsroom role. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys digging into difficult datasets, questioning assumptions, validating findings, and using technology to support deep investigative work.
What you’ll be doing:
* Investigating and validating complex company and ownership data
* Working with messy, multi-source datasets to identify inconsistencies, anomalies, and hidden connections
* Using SQL and Python to analyse, clean, and interrogate data
* Applying investigative techniques across structured and unstructured information
* Collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders to turn findings into clear outputs
* Exploring how AI and LLM tools can support research, validation, and investigative workflows
* Helping improve how data is structured, interpreted, and trusted across the platform
What they’re looking for:
* Strong SQL and Python skills
* Background in data journalism, investigative research, OSINT, analytics, or data-focused reporting
* Experience working with complex or unreliable datasets
* Strong attention to detail and a sceptical, investigative mindset
* Someone who cares about accuracy, methodology, and real-world meaning behind the data
* Bonus: experience with corporate, financial, regulatory, risk, or ownership data
