I was the editorial second-in-command, having been with the title since pre-launch. I took editorial responsibility as Acting Editor when the Editor was out of the office, and managed several sections of the site. I did all the site’s web development, single-handedly maintaining and extending the website. I created the site’s interactive Investment Tracker, which brings in data from all funding stories and displays it alongside a dashboard of key stats and graphs. I managed all our political relationships, including interviewing George Osborne, Vince Cable and Chuka Umunna. I also held on-camera sit-down interviews with physicist Brian Cox and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.
