We’re looking for someone who knows how to design UX content for a SaaS product. You’ll think in terms of flows and interactions. You’ll understand how language works as a system, embodies our brand, and flexes to meet people where they are.

Work/Project Scope:

  • Write clear, user-friendly product copy that simplifies complex ideas and flows.
  • Identify information architecture issues and recommend IA improvements.
  • Manage a content backlog, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.

Must Haves (Required Skills): 

  • Experience with driving UX writing, IA, and content strategy decisions. Preferably you’ve worked on SaaS products or applications.
  • Expert grasp of written language, with an eye for detail and fluency in style and grammar.
  • A knack for turning complex inputs into simple, intuitive outputs.
  • You can demonstrate strategic thinking, and an ability to shift between small details and the big picture. You have examples of visual, systems-level thinking, such as your own concept diagrams, journey maps, sketches, flows, matrices, or whatever shape an idea takes.
  • Ability to apply, seek, or contribute UX research and data in content design decisions, including to challenge your own assumptions and recognize when to change approach or opinion.
  • Understanding of business goals and metrics, and how to create UX content that meets both customer and business needs.
  • Ability to work well with cross-functional teams. You're a collaborative leader who can build relationships, promote content design, enable others, and preferably lead workshops.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to explain and defend your work.
  • You handle challenges and changes with resilience and a growth mindset, demonstrating openness to feedback and willingness to improve.
