Responsibilities

• Lead the creation and oversight of content strategies that train GenAI models, advising on practical and effective implementation
• Design, write, edit, test and improve content across multiple touch points, including product flows, navigational elements, product names, emails, tutorials, and notifications
• Collaborate on cross-functional teams with designers, data analysts, researchers, engineers, product managers, and marketing team members
