POLITICO is seeking a talented and motivated Visual Producer to join our Brussels-based office.

• Work with the Creative Director and the rest of the newsroom to improve the quality of art across all platforms, by producing/commissioning art, setting standards, and coaching others in the newsroom
• Help to identify, at the outset, the most efficient way to tell a story visually – whether by infographics, maps, illustration, photo-illustration or photography. Work with the Creative Director to see this approach through to the end.
• Work with the head of Production and the Creative Director to develop workflows in the newsroom in order to improve the quality of POLITICO’s visual journalism
• Lead the newsroom’s use of infographics – by producing them and by teaching reporters and editors to produce basic graphs and charts themselves
