• You'll own the end-to-end content design process for major product areas, from initial strategy and research to final copy and implementation.
• Working with our PMs, researchers, marketeers, product designers, and engineers, you will actively seek user feedback and collaboratively advance content solutions that improve product adoption, comprehension, and overall usability.
• You will champion content accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring our in-product language, terminology, and information architecture are easily understood by users of all backgrounds and abilities.
• You will develop scalable content frameworks, design system practices, define terminology, and build glossaries to ensure a cohesive and consistent voice across the entire product.
