About The Role We'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. Enterprise 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. This 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. You will report to the SVP of Product Design within the Design & Research organization. You Will Own 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 Own the admin experience that powers the reader experience. Design how organizations manage seats, assign content, and understand engagement across their teams Hold 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 Shape 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 Establish 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 Solve 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 Connect design to outcomes.
