![]() This may be a silly question but I have been thinking quite a bit about exactly some of the points you brought up in your piece above due to a recent expansion of my EA Communication Organization requiring me to take on my own assistant. If you would like to join our team and work closely with me in this role, I'd love to hear from you. On our Jobs page we share our thoughts on why applicants might be excited to join our team, and below we explain in more detail the responsibilities, opportunities, and skills that we are looking for with this role. Since I have never worked with an assistant before I think that previous experience in an assistant role is desirable but I am open to hiring someone without this experience. It would be fantastic to work with a great colleague by my side. This is the first time that I am able to look for an assistant and I am excited about it. I hope this gives you some idea of how much I like my work, and why I think this role is important and hopefully also fulfilling and interesting for you. To get an idea for how I think about our work you could read my text about OWID’s mission or listen to my interview on the ‘80,000 Hours’ podcast in which I discussed the history of OWID, the work that the team did during the pandemic, and my vision for what is ahead of us. In terms of topics, my research interests include the range of topics that OWID covers, with a particular focus on global poverty, data visualization, and the production of open access scientific publications. I work with academics, journalists, policymakers, and leaders in nonprofit organizations, tech startups and much more. That’s what this job is about: I am looking for an Executive Assistant who can support me in terms of internal and external communications, in my writing, in administration and operations, and general prioritization so that the team’s and my work are as useful as possible for those who rely on us.Īs my Executive Assistant you will be involved in a wide range of topics and interact with a very diverse group of people. However, after the rapid growth in recent years my time and energy are a major constraint going forward. Our funding situation is solid and the team could not be better. There is so much important work that we can do. I am very optimistic about the future of our work. And internally it is also challenging for me to be as present and helpful to the team as I would like to be. Many researchers, journalists, and policymakers get in touch, but I have hardly any time to consider their requests and offers. My background is in research, and as a researcher I want to write and do research but in addition to research I need to spend much of my time on communications, operations and administration. As the director of OWID I am responsible for setting the direction, as well as managing public communications and overseeing the team’s work across research, design, and engineering. This amazing growth and visibility of our work has led to a challenging situation for myself. Our reach is much larger than I ever imagined. In the end it reaches billions of people. Millions of people visit OWID every month and our data has an even wider reach because it is used by institutions like Google, the WHO, and the New York Times. Our team’s work is referenced in about 50,000 media articles annually, and now during the pandemic we are producing the datasets and infrastructure that inform billions of people around the world. ![]() Tens of thousands of publications rely on OWID every year. Together we are able to do much more than I could have ever hoped for when I was working alone. I am extremely grateful and happy about the excellent team that is working with me – it is the best thing that has happened to this project. With time the project has grown, many outstanding people have joined, and today our team is much larger than I ever imagined. When I started Our World in Data I worked on this project by myself for many years. ![]() You can find the full job description here. When I mentioned that I am looking for an executive assistant several people in the EA community suggested that I share this job here on the EA Forum. Hi! My name is Max Roser and I'm the founder and editor of Our World in Data. ![]()
