Job Responsibilities:
- Craft high impact microcopy (buttons, labels, menus), contextual messages (tooltips, confirmations, errors), and notifications that support user actions and drive adoption—creating a cohesive experience across our mobile and web ecosystem.
- Partner with Design and Research to plan and run content experiments (usability studies, comprehension tests, A/B tests) and iterate based on evidence.
- Write and refine in-app copy for key journeys (e.g., onboarding, servicing, payments), ensuring clarity, confidence, and brand alignment.
- Define the right information at the right moment: empty states, progressive disclosure, help content, and recovery paths that reduce friction and cognitive load.
Design System & Content Standards:
- Maintain and evolve content standards, voice & tone guidance, lexicons, and structured content models for multi?channel use (including localization).
- Contribute content patterns and guidance to the design system (Figma components + content specs), documenting rules for naming, states, and reusability.
- Ensure content meets accessibility and regulatory requirements; write to WCAG aligned readability, semantic clarity, and assistive technology needs.
Qualifications:
- 4–6+ years in UX Writing / Content Design for digital products, collaborating within cross-functional teams.
- Experience planning and interpreting usability and A/B tests; strong articulation of content decisions using data and research.
- Fluency with Figma and content tooling (e.g., content libraries, string management); ability to produce developer ready content specs.
