About The Role

: In our increasingly data-driven world, it’s essential for our customers and prospects to have accessible ways to understand the value of Planet data. You will join the Data Visualization Team, sitting within the Marketing Department’s Creative Group alongside web developers and graphic designers. We are looking for a spatial thinker with a passion for remote sensing analysis and visual communication to help us leverage Planet’s platform and imagery products for external distribution.

You will use our unique datasets in compelling ways, suggesting and trying new technologies and creative approaches to make our platform more accessible. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco office 3 days per week. Impact You'll Own: Find and tell stories that showcase novel applications of Planet’s unique products, and leveraging your ability to combine our imagery with complementary datasets.

Collaborate with Marketing colleagues to understand target audiences and create graphics for content to educate customers on how Planet data can meet their needs or solve their problems. Assist in scoping and providing technical feedback on Marketing content, whether it’s an animation, video, datasheet or presentation deck. You’ll ensure that the data is accurately represented.

Partner with the Media Programs Manager and the rest of the DataViz team to prepare and share imagery externally with the press, think tanks and analysts as they try to meet tight deadlines. Encourage and use best practices for data visualization as a knowledgeable resource within the organization.
