Job Introduction
BBC World Service is an international multimedia broadcaster, part of BBC News, delivering a wide range of language and regional services and working increasingly with other parts of BBC News to serve global audiences. It uses multiple platforms to reach its weekly audience of 468 million globally (2020 figure), including TV, digital platforms, social media, AM, FM, shortwave, digital satellite and cable channels. As part of an historic and exciting expansion that began in 2017, the BBC World Service expanded its language services in Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu among others. The South Asia Visual Journalism hub is based at BBC's Delhi bureau, working closely and collaboratively with all Indian language services to deliver the best service for BBC audiences in India

Main Responsibilities
About the South Asia Visual Journalism team

The purpose of the visual journalism team is to unlock the potential of multimedia storytelling across all our platforms - desktop, tablet, mobile and TV. By using graphical tools and combining those of data and journalistic rigour, the team aims to produce powerful visual explanations that improve understanding of the news.

Now we need a midweight Infographics and UX Designer to join the World Service team, which is a part of BBC News. You will be working with world-class UX & Infographics designers, social media designers, journalists, technical experts and masters of motion graphics to create amazing digital storytelling experiences, in multiple languages to a global audience.

We're not talking about 9 to 5. You'll be at the heart of the action when a story breaks, working closely with senior team members to deliver experiences that resonate across BBC News. Wherever and whenever our audience encounters us.

You will be collaborating with technical, editorial and product teams from across the BBC to create elegant, delightful experiences that transcend the barriers between old and new media. We are a global brand, our audience is international and we must deliver our designs and user experiences in multiple languages so we can reach all our users.

You have a track record of outstanding infographics and UX work across various different platforms, be they mobile, connected TV, tablet or desktop. And you have the portfolio to prove it.

You might tend tend towards data visualisation, information graphics and mapping, or layout, colour and typography. Either way you will have skills you can use to create the ideal user experience. Maybe you have even got something special up your sleeve, like you're an amazing prototype builder, responsive design expert or 3D animator.

You will have a keen interest in current affairs, a firm grasp of how design can make a story comprehensible compelling and relevant. You will also be able to pitch your work to people from all sorts of backgrounds.

We like people who are:

- enthusiastic about what they do and a delight to work with;
- obsessive about accurate, timely delivery and being the first to break the latest news;
- motivated and full of ideas
- serious about current affairs
- geeky about information design and the latest developments in technology
