Principal Product Designer - Market Data

About the Role:

As Principal Product Designer
- Market Data, you will own the design strategy for our Market Data platform—the real-time quotes, charting, watchlists, screeners, and visualization systems that power how millions of people read and act on financial markets across The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Market Watch, and Investor's Business Daily. This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone who sets direction across our financial brands and is the go-to design expert for how Dow Jones presents market data.

Market Data connects across every one of our financial brands, and this role sets the design strategy that spans all of them. Your decisions will establish shared patterns—for quotes, charts, tables, portfolios, and alerts—that these brands build on. You will own the direction for how investors of every kind, from first-time savers to sophisticated professionals, interpret dense, fast-moving data and turn it into confident decisions, balancing the distinct needs of each brand against the consistency and quality users expect wherever they encounter our data.

And this reach won’t stop at the consumer. Market and pricing data runs across much of Dow Jones—so your influence will extend well beyond the consumer brands into our professional and enterprise products, from Factiva and Dow Jones Risk & Compliance to Dow Jones Energy, wherever market data underpins the experience. Where data meets the broader product, you will be the design lead who makes it cohere.

This is a role of real influence and scope. You will shape strategy with senior leadership, resolve tension between individual brand priorities and platform consistency, define the market-data patterns that live in our Index Design System, and mentor senior designers across the financial brands. You will be the design authority for your domain—navigating ambiguity and setting the standard others in your area build on.

You will report to the VP of Product Design within the Design & Research organization.

• Own the design strategy for the Market Data platform across our financial brands —setting a coherent, multi-year direction for quotes, charting, watchlists, screeners, portfolios, and data visualization that spans The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Market Watch, and IBD, and connecting it to measurable outcomes like engagement, retention, and revenue

Present your design direction for the Market Data platform to senior design, product, and business leaders—and to executives where the work warrants—building the partnerships that advance it across brands and making the case for how well-designed data experiences create competitive advantage
• Solve the hard, ambiguous problems in your domain —developing new patterns, methods, and approaches for presenting complex financial information across multiple brands, and building a deep understanding of the problem space that lets you see opportunities ahead

• Extend your influence beyond our consumer brands into the wider portfolio —the professional and enterprise products, from Factiva and Risk & Compliance to Newswires and OPIS, where market and pricing data is just as central—so the experiences built on our data share the same clarity, rigor, and craft. Be the design lead wherever data shapes the product
• Set a high bar for craft. Define what excellence looks like for dense, real-time financial information—typography, information density, motion, and the accessibility of complex tables and charts—and ensure consistent quality across the brands through design reviews and audits
• Connect design to outcomes. Partner with Research and analytics to tie your decisions to engagement, retention, and subscription metrics, and help teams across the financial brands understand which measures matter for market-data experiences
