Albuquerque Biz First seeks research director

Do you love data? Help us revolutionize storytelling at Albuquerque Business First.

ABF is a part of American City Business Journals and we are looking for a data journalist to serve as our Research Director, responsible for telling the story of business through data.

The Research Director plays a key role in ABF’s newsroom. ACBJ has recently reinvented its weekly editions and digital products under the guidance of design guru Mario Garcia, and ABF needs a dynamic Research Director to create weekly lists and drive our data collection.

The Harvard Business Review says data science is the sexiest job of this century. This is a great opportunity for a person with a passion for research, zeal for accuracy and a love for telling stories with numbers.
