Data Redactor
(36 hours p.w.)

Are you analytically strong, do you understand how newsrooms work, and do you know how to translate data into insights that help creators make better choices? Then the position of analyst at one of our editorial departments might be for you!

This is what you will do
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and act as the substantive sparring partner for one of our three main editorial departments: Journalism, Broad, or New Generations. You will operate at the intersection of editorial and data, contributing to the quality of our content.

▸ Translating signals and gut feelings from editorial teams into concrete questions that lead to editorial decisions.
▸ Building and maintaining a close working relationship with (senior) editors within your domain, so that you are involved in decision-making at an early stage.
▸ Sharpening research questions in collaboration with analysts from the central team.
▸ Monitoring focus and priorities within your domain, together with the data lead.
▸ Stimulating data-driven working and increasing data literacy within the editorial team in daily practice.
▸ The conscious and careful deployment of AI tools, with an eye for the handling of audience data and the responsibility of a public broadcaster.

What you bring
▸ You have a background in communication, journalism, social sciences, data, or econometrics.
▸ You have extensive experience in a role at the intersection of content and data, for example as an analyst with significant stakeholder contact, an editor with strong data affinity, or a researcher within media or marketing.
▸ You know how to translate insights from data into relevant substantive conclusions and editorial choices.
▸ You possess statistical insight and understand, among other things, the difference between correlation and causation and the influence of outliers on conclusions.
▸ You are able to reduce complex or vague questions to their core and translate them into concrete research questions. You communicate clearly and accessibly, without unnecessary jargon.

Nice to have
▸ Knowledge of media measurements, such as NMO, the online reach measurement of the public broadcasters, or web analytics.
▸ Experience within a broadcaster, editorial department, or other media organization. Additionally, it is a plus if you have a preference for one of the three BNNVARA editorial departments: Journalism, Broad, or New Generations.
▸ Experience with A/B testing or other experiments.

We are looking for someone who recognizes themselves in the majority of the points above. Do you not meet all the requirements, but do you think this role suits you well? Then we cordially invite you to respond.
