You will oversee four teams building our news experiences for the future: the WSJ Innovation Lab, R&D Lab, CMS team, and Storytelling/Editorial Tools team. These teams cover different phases within the news experience development cycle, from ideation to experimentation to automation to building our platforms and tools.
The Innovation Lab runs an open process and dashboard for innovation that we call the Idea Portal; the R&D group uses algorithms, automation and other data-driven processes to create new products, experiences and content; the CMS team is building and rolling out a new CMS; the Storytelling/Editorial Tools team incorporates new ideas into our content experiences for text, video, graphics, and audio. This team manages both the front-end work involved in creating new content experiences and the editorial tools used by journalists around the newsroom.
These are sizable teams with important mandates. Leading them in the smartest ways possible is key to this job.
This is also a leadership role within our broader our strategy, product, engineering and design unit. This group creates all of the Journal’s digital experiences and is leading the Journal’s digital transformation in our newsroom and in our products and technology. You will partner with other leaders in the group to put innovation, experimentation, R&D and digital experiences central to the broader team’s and, indeed the broader newsroom’s work.
You will report to WSJ’s Chief News Strategist & Chief Product and Technology Officer.
