  • Contribute insights to inform product strategy, aligning short-term and long-term business goals.
  • Design scalable content and champion continuous improvement of content standards through a design system.
  • Collaborate with and support teammates in iterating and improving content quality.
  • Apply UX research and data to inform content decisions.
  • Manage content backlogs, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.
  • Present work for feedback and revise based on input.

What it takes to catch our eye:

  • Proven experience driving UX writing, IA, and content strategy decisions for SaaS products or applications.
  • A knack for transforming complex inputs into simple, intuitive outputs.
  • Strong leadership skills in managing projects and collaborating effectively as part of a team.
  • Aptitude for coaching and challenging the status quo with structured thinking.
  • A proactive approach to identifying opportunities for innovation and addressing challenges.
  • Ability to connect the dots between products and features while keeping customer needs in focus.
  • Clear and confident communication skills with the ability to explain and defend work.
  • A growth mindset with resilience, openness to feedback, and a drive to improve.
