About the Role :

We're looking for a Vice President of Product Design to lead our Barcelona office's Product Design team. This tight-knit team executes Product Design strategies for significant parts of the Dow Jones core product portfolio across our B2B and B2C brands like The Wall Street Journal and Factiva. This is a pivotal role on our team and whoever takes this on will be a key member of our Design & Research Leadership team.

This role will be responsible for setting the tone and fostering a collaborative, open culture for our design team in our Barcelona office aligned with our Design Leadership in NYC. You'll be at the forefront of our work to build our Design team into a strategic force that empowers our user base while taking Dow Jones' businesses to new heights.

In this capacity, you're a proven and inspirational Creative Leader who raises the bar for design while lifting up the designers on your team. You're an empathetic and pragmatic person with a flair for strategic influence across product, technology, marketing, and editorial stakeholders. Finally, you have a superpower that guides these stakeholders towards alignment across our respective timezones.

The Vice President of Product Design will report to the SVP of Design & Research at Dow Jones.

You Will :

• Lead by example. We're on a mission to elevate design across our entire business. You must be a role model for the design team. This means bringing to bear your advanced experience and being passionate about design in all forms (digital, industrial, fashion, etc.) and attuned to the zeitgeist while always willing to learn and grow.
• Set and own a vision and strategy for Product Design within the Barcelona office that's aligned to our Global standards aligned with the company's overall business strategies. Assist in clearly communicating and evangelizing our goals to other executive leadership across the globe.
• Oversee design and implement design processes for all products and services across your portfolio. Our products are designed to be user-friendly, effective, and visually appealing- regardless of B2B or B2C- the standards for coherence and quality are high no matter what.
• Commit yourself to advocate for investment in the growth and development of designers. The VP of Product Design should be committed to the growth and development of their team and establish ways to do this both internally and externally.
• Be a natural connector, collaborator, and instigator. You'll do this by forming meaningful and lasting connections with our Editorial, Technology, Product Management, and Marketing teams. We'll push strategy together, but we'll also be instigators to challenge the status quo to push our products forward in new ways.
• Understand the complex needs of marketing and brand differentiation across our brands and drive for consistency across platforms-while knowing when to intelligently deviate. You'll advocate for bringing these brand stakeholders together into our design tent.
• Stay up-to-date on the latest design trends and technologies. You'll share your knowledge of-and perhaps be an industry expert in-the latest trends in the media, information, and knowledge management space. You'll contribute to our internal understanding of our rapidly evolving business environment.
• Last but never least, serve as an advocate for our users-whether they're reading and interacting with our publications or using our data and research tools. You'll keep their needs at the heart of our customer experience.
