We encourage each other and share our ideas and knowledge, and we expect that you'll share your knowledge of techniques and tools to encourage other team members using illustration in their storytelling.
You should have prior experience working in news. You'll have the support of other editors and journalists across our highly-collaborative global graphics team, and your ability to jump into projects and apply your illustration skills will help the team take ownership of visually compelling stories.
