Freelance Data Journalist or Insights Writer

Are you a writer who's skilled at turning facts and figures into stories people actually want to read? Or know someone who's written the kind of data-driven piece that stops the scroll, earning trust and citations?

We're building out original research at Kikoff, and we're looking for freelance data journalists or insights writers who can transform data on credit, spending, and financial behavior into accessible, authoritative stories that help people build, monitor, and improve their credit. Someone with the experience to find the human story within the numbers for readers navigating financial decisions.

If that's you (or someone you know), reach out directly to kelly.waggoner@kikoff.com with your details, including a portfolio or links to your most relevant pieces. We have a budget in place for competitive pay based on experience. Looking forward to a chat!

Please highlight your data journalism experience and original research pieces specifically. It may take up to a week to get back to everyone.

UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who's reached out since last Thursday's post. I know this is a tough market for talented writers, and I don't take lightly that so many of you took the time to share your work with me. At this point, I've received enough responses, and so I'm closing submissions. I'll get back to every person as soon as I can, no matter the outcome. It may take up to a week, so thanks again for your patience.
