The Wall Street Journal is looking for a photo business deputy.

This is a senior leadership role, overseeing a team of photo editors, covering a wide range of photographic assigning, research and production for key WSJ business desks: Corporate, Markets, Exchange, Journal Reports and The Future of Everything.

These content areas combine the need for a bold digital display on mobile and desktop platforms, with a striking, newsy, sometimes conceptual print requirement.

You will be responsible for maintaining a sophisticated and lively quality of photography (and photo-illustration) for each individual section and will facilitate innovative visual approaches to the creation and surfacing of our online content.

You will attend weekly bureau and art meetings and will be working closely with coverage chiefs, visual editors, publishing and print editors, platform leads, section art directors, graphics, video and audience colleagues on daily and enterprise coverage.

The role will include conceptualization of print centerpieces, the planning and production of special print issues and overseeing workflow and production flows for the teams.

You will conceive, pitch and develop special projects in conjunction with the different sections, teaming up with partners from the greater visuals team for multimedia storytelling, experimental formats and tools. You will mentor and train photo editors and oversee budgets for their content areas.

You will report to the Director of Photography.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain a very high quality of photographic assigning, execution and research.
• Lead the team in the production of innovative online visual story builds for photography and multimedia, collaborating with graphics and visual editors, art directors and developer colleagues.

• Help direct and create new workflows and processes in a fast-paced, global, and networked newsroom.
• Recommend and lead change where required to strengthen the team and the journalism.
• Work closely with the Photography Director on broader departmental and organizational projects.
• Work in close partnership with other visual, strategy, product and engineering leadership.
