Job Description:
nAbout the Team:
nOur Technology team drives the evolution of our Technology, Engineering, Data, Product and User Experience functions. With a keen focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions, we shape the digital landscape for our customers, readers and users. From revolutionizing visuals to optimizing tools and harnessing the power of data, mobile, video and social platforms, our team is committed to providing a seamless and immersive experience across all touchpoints. Collaborating closely with our newsrooms and strategic partners, we spearhead the development of groundbreaking products and technologies.
nAbout Dow Jones Design & Research:
nOur Design & Research org brings together world-class designers and researchers with a unified purpose: to connect people to the news and information that matters most. We're the strategic force that transforms deep user understanding into exceptional product experiences across our entire portfolio—from The Wall Street Journal to Factiva.
nTogether, we're building coherent, accessible experiences that honor our 135-year foundation while pushing us boldly into the future. We're a globally distributed team spearheading a digital transformation at Dow Jones, newly staffed by industry leaders from Google, LinkedIn, The New York Times, and more. Through our joint expertise in design craft and research rigor, we ensure that millions of users can depend on our platforms for truth in a world full of noise.
nAbout the Role:
nWe're seeking a Principal Product Designer to own the design strategy for our WSJ enterprise products—professional experiences that bring The Wall Street Journal and the wider Dow Jones portfolio to the businesses and institutions that rely on our journalism to make informed decisions. In this a senior individual-contributor role, you will set the direction for one of our growth areas and become a go-to design expert on how Dow Jones serves enterprise and professional customers.
nEnterprise customers don’t always consume content the way consumers do. Designing for them means thinking beyond the article—how a professional finds what's relevant to their work, how an organization manages access for its employees, and how our trusted journalism earns a place in the working day of decision-makers. You'll hold enterprise design to the high bar set by our consumer products and be tightly integrated with the platforms guaranteeing these decision-makers are empowered with WSJ + Dow Jones content.
nThis is a role with influence and scope. You'll shape strategy with senior design, product, and business leadership, resolve the tension between enterprise requirements and consumer-grade craft, contribute to the enterprise patterns that live in our Index Design System, and mentor senior designers across both our professional and consumer brands. You'll be the design authority for your domain—navigating ambiguity and setting the standard others build upon.
nYou will report to the SVP of Product Design within the Design & Research organization.
nYou Will:
nnnOwn the design strategy for our enterprise experiences. Set a coherent, multi-year direction for how professional customers discover, read, and act on our journalism, and tie it to measurable outcomes such as seat growth, engagement, renewal, and expansion
n
nnOwn the admin experience that powers the reader experience. Design how organizations manage seats, assign content, and understand engagement across their teams
n
nnHold enterprise work to the Journal's standard of craft. Bring the typography, information design, and attention to detail that characterize our consumer products into a business environment, and help set the bar for what enterprise design quality means at Dow Jones
n
nnShape strategy with senior leadership. Present your direction to senior design, product, and business leaders, and to other executives where needed, building the partnerships that move great design forward across a field of competing priorities
n
nnEstablish further patterns in our Index Design System—the components, density, navigation, and permission-aware behavior that professional products depend on—knowing when conformity with our consumer brands serves the user and when a professional audience warrants a different approach
n
nnSolve the hard, ambiguous problems in your domain. Professional workflows, AI-assisted features users must trust, and personalization that must earn its place are problems devoid of clear precedent. You'll create clarity where none exists and develop the approaches others adopt
n
nnConnect design to outcomes. Partner with Research and analytics to tie your decisions to engagement, retention, and revenue, and help teams understand which measures actually matter for a professional product
n
nnMentor and grow senior designers across our professional and consumer brands, shape a strong design culture, and strengthen the talent pipeline through the standards you set and the craft you share
n
n nYou Have:
nnn10+ years of product design experience, including significant time owning complex, systems-level or platform work, with a track record of setting design direction that spans multiple products or audiences
n
nnDepth in both enterprise and consumer design. You've built products for professional users with real workflows and real constraints, and you hold that work to the standard of the best consumer experiences. This combination is the core requirement of the role.
n
nnExperience designing professional platforms—workspaces, dashboards, personalized feeds, admin and permissions tooling
n
nnA portfolio that demonstrates strategic impact across multiple products or audiences: platform or design-system contributions, cross-team pattern-setting, and strong end-to-end craft on sophisticated products
n
nnA proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, translating design strategy into business terms and building alignment across teams whose priorities compete
n
nnStrong systems thinking and deep experience with design systems, including establishing patterns that other teams adopt and evolve
n
nnJudgment about personalization and AI-assisted experiences—when they genuinely help a professional user, when they diminish trust, and how to design for these scenarios
n
nnExcellence in Figma, with the ability to set standards for design communication, specifications, and documentation across teams
n
nnA deep command of design fundamentals and accessibility compliance standards (WCAG), with fluency in dense, information-rich interfaces
n
nnA track record of mentoring designers and helping raise the craft and quality of the teams around you
n
nnComfort operating amid ambiguity—setting direction in your domain during shifting priorities and emerging technology, and acting as the go-to expert others turn to
n
nnBachelor's degree -or- equivalent work experience in Design, HCI, or a comparable field
n
n nNice to Have:
nnnExperience designing B2B information services, professional intelligence, or research platforms
n
nnFamiliarity with entitlements, seat management, or permissions models at enterprise scale
n
nnExperience shipping AI-assisted features—summarization, recommendation, or generative content—in production products
n
nnBackground in news media, publishing, or other content-heavy products
n
nnExperience designing across a multi-brand portfolio
n
nnExperience contributing productively to a design system
n
nnExperience partnering with external research, brand, or design agencies
n
nnWorking knowledge of financial services, consulting, or other professional-services industries
n
nnAn external presence through speaking or writing on design at scale
n
nnInternational or cross-cultural design experience
