About the role

MarketWatch seeks a Director of Editorial Design to lead the visual expression of our journalism. This newsroom leadership role shapes presentation strategy, visual identity, and reader experience across homepage, newsletters, and social storytelling. The ideal candidate has 10+ years in editorial design, a strong portfolio, and deep collaboration across editorial, product and marketing teams. Based in New York, with merit-based flexibility for other locations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
