Who We Are
Before you decide to apply, make sure the WhoWhatWhy mission resonates with you. Check out whowhatwhy.org. You’ll quickly see that we’re a credible response to the raging debate over whether the news is "fake" or not, publishing agenda-free research and bracingly fresh analysis. At WhoWhatWhy, we approach each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a willingness to dig deep and ask hard questions. We believe that this is the essence of true journalism.
Because we’re straight to the point, we make clear that, as a nonprofit with a very limited budget that accepts no advertising, we are staffed principally by volunteers - skilled volunteers. However, we do have big ambitions - which is why we’re seeking an experienced Digital Analytics Developer to work closely with the internal team to support and implement high-quality, data-driven decisions. That will play a crucial role in our ability to continue growing and sharing our quality journalism with an ever-expanding, eager audience.

Expectations:
You will work remotely and on your own schedule, though we require a minimum commitment of 10-15 hours a week.

We prefer candidates who can commit a minimum of six months to our organization. This is a work-at-home position.
If you possess a high level of self-motivation, work well independently but also have strong collaboration skills, enjoy the opportunity to partner with other senior leaders, and can commit quality time per week on a regular basis to help achieve team goals, we’d like to hear from you.
