The Wall Street Journal is looking for audience data analysts to help deliver critical digital insights and visualizations of them for the newsroom.

These people will present insights to senior editors and help guide strategy across content areas and multiple ongoing projects. They will also be instrumental in the creation of new dashboards and metrics for the broader newsroom that will help with audience segmentation projects.

The Journal has a large digital audience that is quickly growing. As we grow, we are dedicated to understanding all of our audiences and the value we provide them.

The audience data analysts are part of our new Data Solutions department, which is using data science and predictive modeling to help us engage better with our audiences.

You will also work closely with newsroom leadership as well as the Journal's visual, product, design and engineering departments. There is room in these roles to develop both journalism skills and data science skills, and career paths from these jobs can lead in multiple directions.

It's essential to have an enthusiasm for news and the public mission of journalism in these jobs. The Journal is the most trusted news outlet in the country, and it has made great strides in recent years in integrating audience insights into the newsroom. This new team will build on that.
