• Write and refine in-app copy for key journeys (e.g., onboarding, servicing, payments), ensuring clarity, confidence, and brand alignment.
• Define the right information at the right moment: empty states, progressive disclosure, help content, and recovery paths that reduce friction and cognitive load.

Design System & Content Standards

• Contribute content patterns and guidance to the design system (Figma components + content specs), documenting rules for naming, states, and reusability.
• Ensure content meets accessibility and regulatory requirements; write to WCAG aligned readability, semantic clarity, and assistive technology needs.
