- Experience prototyping interactivity, demonstrating ideas to stakeholders and incorporating their feedback
- A track record implementing and iterating webpages based on stakeholder feedback and user needs
- Mastery of HTML, CSS and SASS with an eye for design
- Comfort with front-end scripting concepts like the DOM, and ability to write Javascript with AND without libraries like jQuery
- Knowledge of a common back-end language such as PHP, Python or Ruby
- Familiarity with common CMS templating systems such as Twig or Liquid
- Experience with responsive email template design
Our ideal candidate will also have familiarity with the off-the-shelf tools that our business team uses regularly, especially those for web analytics (Google Analytics/Tag Manager and Chartbeat), email newsletters and marketing (Pardot), and donations (Salesforce and Classy).
You can be a great candidate even if you don't fit everything we've described above. You can also have important skills we haven't thought of. If that's you, don't hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
We are dedicated to improving our newsroom, in part by better reflecting the people we cover. (Here is a breakdown of our own staff.)
