Content Designer

About Quizlet:

Inspired by our belief that anyone can learn anything and powered by our own curiosity, we build the smartest tools we can imagine to help students learn.  

Quizlet is the popular, global learning platform and app that millions of students, teachers and everyday people use to study any subject imaginable for school, work or as part of their personal interests -- including two-thirds of high school students and half of all college students in the US. Combining cognitive science and machine learning, Quizlet guides students through adaptive study activities to confidently reach their learning goals.

Valued at $1 billion, Quizlet has raised over $60 million in venture capital from investors including Icon Ventures, Union Square Ventures, General Atlantic, Costanoa Ventures, Owl Ventures, and Altos Ventures.  

To serve our global community of learners, our teams tackle lofty technical challenges and design for use cases across cultures and languages. We work hard, act like owners, and collaborate every chance we get. We’re energized by the potential to power more learners through multiple approaches and various tools.

About the Team:

The Design team at Quizlet is passionate about creating high-quality experiences that help people learn, study, and achieve their goals. Our team includes product designers, motion designers, user researchers, and content designers. 

The content design function is small but mighty, and this role will be the first opportunity in several years to grow that team, ensuring more of the company can benefit from the expertise of our designers who make experiences out of words.

About the Role:

The content designer role partners with Quizlet designers, product managers, researchers and product marketers to plan and create the content for Quizlet products. They continually improve that content, and evolve our voice and content standards. This role will report to the director of user research and content design and collaborate closely with our senior content designer to define the scope of work and cover the organization’s needs.

In this role, versatility is key. As a content designer, you’ll be researching, ideating, writing, testing, and shipping clear product copy for Quizlet's apps.

We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office at a minimum of three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe that this working environment facilitates increased work efficiency, team partnership, and supports growth as an employee and organization.

In this role, you will:

• Own planning and write the content for web and mobile interfaces, including interaction flows, product user education, navigational nomenclature, and other content throughout Quizlet experiences
• Apply consistent standards and elevate the overall quality of our work
• Drive both high-level strategy and hands-on writing for web and mobile experiences
• Partner closely with other design leads, product management and marketing leads to deliver high-impact content that delivers on the desired user experience and product strategy
• Push yourself and the team to raise the bar at Quizlet through a culture of feedback and open communication

What you bring to the table:

• 3-5 years of experience as a content designer or UX copywriter
• Experience in testing and rapid iteration of product language to optimize UX
• Please include a link to samples of your work that show an experience across different content types. You may show us content you’ve created for user interfaces, microcopy, user education, direct or transactional emails, style guides or product launch content

Bonus points if you have:

• Information architecture or responsive content experience
• Fluency and experience delivering product writing in a non-English language

Compensation, Benefits & Perks:

• Collaborate with your manager and team to create a healthy work-life balance
• 20 vacation days (and we expect you to take them!)
• Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent PPO, HMO, VSP Choice)
• Employer-sponsored 401k plan with company match
• Access to LinkedIn Learning and other resources to support professional growth
• Paid Family Leave, FSA, HSA, Commuter benefits, and Wellness benefits
• 40 hours of annual paid time off to participate in volunteer programs of choice

We strive to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome! 

We work to create a holistic interview process, where both Quizlet and candidates have an opportunity to view what it would be like to work together, in exploring a mutually beneficial partnership.

We provide a transparent setting, that gives a comprehensive view of who we are!  

In Closing:

We hope you are excited about everything you read so far. We highly encourage you to apply for this position, even if you feel you do not meet all the requirements. Quizlet is always looking for amazing folks that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in various ways - not merely candidates that fit a certain mold.

We have a bias for action, take initiative, and take pride in delivering results. We make informed decisions whenever possible but are unafraid to take calculated risks on great ideas to promote learning. We embrace challenges and see effort as the path to mastery. We’re constantly seeking opportunities to learn and we embrace curiosity. Quality matters at Quizlet, and we hold the bar high on everything we do.

We treat each other with honesty and respect, encourage vigorous debate, and seek critical feedback. We value diversity, humility, transparency, and collaboration as the best paths to our success — as individuals, as a team, and as a company.

We are actively working to build a team that is representative of the diverse communities we serve, and an open, inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive.
