About the Team

Dow Jones is a high-growth global provider of news and business information, delivering critical content and solutions to a wide range of customers including financial institutions, corporations, and government agencies. As part of our investment plan, we are seeking an exceptional leader for the Global Sales Team to serve as the VP, Strategy & Growth.

About the Role

The VP, Strategy & Growth is a hybrid leader possessing the commercial grit of a sales leader and the collaborative DNA of an operational strategist. In this role, you will bridge the strategy-to-execution gap by aligning the Proposition team, Global Business Operations (GBO), and Sales. You will sit with the Proposition team to understand the why of a product, and work with Sales Operations to build the how of the rollout, directly driving speed-to-market, expansion revenue, and an integrated Go-To-Market (GTM) velocity.

You Will

• Conduct data-driven white space mapping to identify untapped segments within the existing portfolio and re-engineer processes to eliminate bottlenecks and accelerate global sales velocity.
• Partner with the Proposition team to translate product roadmaps into sales-ready collateral and provide a direct feedback loop from the SDR engine to influence future product development.
• Collaborate with Client Engagement Specialists (CES) and Sales Operations to ensure a seamless handshake between Sales and Success, maximizing retention, identifying expansion triggers, and ensuring the global tech stack provides clean data for accurate forecasting.
• Act as a senior commercial touchpoint for Tier 1 clients to validate strategy and synthesize market feedback into actionable insights for Global Specialist Leads (GRI, Factiva, Newswires).

You Have

• 18+ years of experience with deep expertise and a proven track record at senior leadership, particularly in sales leadership, operational strategy, and managing the Growth Stack.
• Ability to own strategy and delivery for a major business area, leading transformation and complex change initiatives to drive pipeline volume, GTM velocity, and expansion revenue.
• Exceptional communication and influence skills to engage with senior leaders, C-suite clients, and key stakeholders, influencing strategy, priorities, and decisions across major business areas.
• Proven experience leading a major function or business area, holding accountability for strategy execution, people leadership, and results across a broad scope.
• Strategic gravitas to challenge Regional VPs and serve as a peer to Proposition and GBO leadership.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Strategy, Commercial Operations, or equivalent experience.
