TRAFFIC DATA JOURNALIST - NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED 

Have you ever wondered where the traffic news you hear on the radio or see on your sat nav comes from? INRIX team of Traffic Data Journalists supplies real-time traffic incident and congestion data to 95% of the radio stations in the UK, as well as household names in the automotive industry such as Ford and Garmin.
