Our purpose is to craft user experiences that facilitate weight loss through behavior change via intuitive, inclusive, and empathetic interfaces. The Product Design team sits within Product, and has around 20 people, we prioritize autonomy, opportunity, and transparency within our team.

Working within the Product Design org, you will partner with Product, UX Research, Data and Analytics, and Engineering to explore, research, and validate solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept, write, test, and deliver copy and content strategy for human-centered user experiences
• Pair with Product Designers to define, test and iterate UI copy across a variety of touch points and areas of the customer experience
• Help build products that are inclusive, useful, and trusted
• Understand the emotional and behavioral complexities involved in habit change
• Communicate potentially complex features in a way that develops confidence and ease of use - focus on clarity, coherence, quality, accessibility and global relevance
• Develop and evangelize copy guidelines, best practices, and product tone of voice based on user research and brand guidelines
• Act as a conduit between Design, Legal, and Marketing to drive workflow efficiencies and consistency
  
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a UX Writer or similar role
• 2+ years of experience supporting product design and development
• A web-based portfolio of relevant work samples with a UX focus; including problems you helped solve for, your contributions, and impact to the users

• Experience driving impactful digital products via effective and clear copy, guidelines, and content strategy
• Can edit existing work and create new copy
• Can write everything the user experience requires, including navigation items, button labels, tool tips, headlines, intro copy, error messages
• Self-motivated team player with mature cross-functional leadership skills
• Strong, informed POV with a growth mindset and curious default
• Passion for our customers, with empathy for those seeking support for health and weight management-related issues
• Well organized and able to switch contexts in a reasonable way across our product experiences
