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.

NYC - 1211 Ave of the Americas

Full time

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.
