About the Role

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a Senior Data Analyst to join our newsroom data team. This role involves working directly with editorial, audience, and product teams to shape journalism reporting, prioritization, and delivery. It is a hands-on, high-autonomy position that requires strong analytical skills and newsroom judgment, owning analyses, dashboards, and measurement frameworks from inception to adoption. The role also includes setting the technical bar for the data team and mentoring junior colleagues.

Responsibilities

Serve as a trusted analytics partner to newsroom editorial and strategy leaders, driving audience growth, engagement and retention.
Frame the right questions, answer them with rigorous analysis, and translate findings for non-technical stakeholders.
Develop and maintain centralized dashboards and automated reports that expand self-serve access to newsroom data.
Run deep-dive analyses on areas of opportunity, major news events, high-priority moments, and unexplained shifts in performance.
Push measurement forward by developing novel metrics and analytical frameworks that inform newsroom strategy, and drive adoption across editorial, product, and business teams.
Own and maintain the reporting stack, partnering with data engineering and product to keep data accurate, fresh, and high-quality.
Strengthen taxonomies, instrumentation, and foundational datasets the newsroom relies on.
Respond to and prevent pipeline incidents so daily reporting stays reliable.
Design and run A/B tests and experiments in partnership with strategy, product, and tech teams.
Apply statistical measurement to interpret results and translate them into decisions about editorial and audience strategy.
Mentor junior analysts, set shared standards for technical and non-technical outputs, and contribute to a shared library of methods and lessons the team can pull from.

Requirements

3+ years in data analytics, data science, or a related field, preferably in media, publishing, or content.
Track record of owning recurring reporting end-to-end and delivering analyses whose findings have shaped business decisions.
Strong SQL skills, with experience working in large-scale data warehouses like BigQuery or Snowflake, and analytics-engineering frameworks like dbt.
Experience designing and running A/B tests, and applying statistical methods to interpret results.
Proficiency in Python for analysis, data wrangling, and automating analytical workflows, with experience maintaining code in Git.
Strong communication skills, with a track record of driving alignment and consensus across cross-functional groups.
