And although we’re being bombarded with more information than ever before, somehow we end up being less informed . Visual Capitalist is on a mission to change that using the power of data and visual storytelling.

About Visual Capitalist

For 14 years, we’ve been the global leaders in data storytelling, fusing art, data, and narrative together to visualize the insights that matter, and the megatrends that affect us all.

And in that time, our data stories have received over 1 billion views, and acclaim from leaders and decision makers around the world.

Hiring : Two Senior Editors

After our most successful quarter on record, we are looking to expand our team. We are adding two roles :

• Senior Editor (Business and Economics) : Focused on data-driven stories on money, markets, technology, energy, wealth, business, and the forces shaping the global economy.
• Senior Editor (Global Trends and Insights) : Focused on data-driven stories on demographics, geography, and the “wait-what?” insights that emerge from maps, rankings, and other highly visual, exploratory datasets.

These two positions will report into the Managing Editor, and each will lead a team of approximately 6‑8 researchers, journalists, and graphic designers.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for executing our publishing strategy within your assigned vertical, overseeing the full scope of creating data‑driven visuals and articles for the Visual Capitalist website and audience.

This includes ideation, research, data cleaning, brief writing, visualization, revisions, and preparing stories for publication.

This is a hands‑on editorial leadership role . You’ll guide a team, but you’ll also be directly involved in discovering datasets, shaping visual narratives, and refining stories until they’re clear, accurate, and compelling.

This is not a pure management role, nor a traditional newsroom desk. A love of charts, maps, and digging into data —and making the complex understandable through beautiful visuals—is essential.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is local in Vancouver, BC or is willing to move here.

Compensation

The expected salary range is between $88,000 and $100,000 depending on experience.

In addition, we offer the following :
