Researcher / Source Analyst

Kyiv / Remote-EUFull-time

The person who decides whether a subject is publishable before the editor writes a single line. Owns source-vetting, competitor audits and source-pack assembly.

What you'd own

  • Run pre-engagement source audits — score every available source against WP:RS and WP:NCORP criteria; output a written notability verdict the sales team can defend.
  • Build the source pack the editor will work from: independent, secondary, in-depth coverage, with a one-line reliability note on each.
  • Audit competitor Wikipedia coverage in the client's space and flag what the client's article needs to clear notability comparatively.
  • Track source decay — sources that were strong last year may be dead or downgraded this year (Forbes contributor reclassification, regulator URL changes, etc.).
  • Maintain the team's reliable-sources lookup table for the industries we work in most often.

You'll thrive here if

  • You can tell the difference between a sponsored content piece and an independent article in under 30 seconds.
  • You read primary regulator filings (SEC, BaFin, FCA, court PDFs) without complaint.
  • You're comfortable saying 'this client does not meet notability and we should decline'.
  • You think in checklists and write internal notes the next analyst can actually use.

The first weeks

Onboarding is one week with the senior researcher walking you through 15-20 past source packs — both the ones we shipped and the ones we used to decline projects. Your first month is paired audits; from month two you own your own queue and the editor pod treats your verdict as authoritative. Escalation goes founder-direct when a sales call needs a notability ruling under deadline.
