You have a strong intuition for writing clear and concise content that is easily translated and localized for our global audience.

Your portfolio includes writing samples with examples of how you have conveyed complex and sometimes sensitive content to both experienced and new users.

  • Ability to critique the visual style, interface, and interaction flow of applications and experiences to advocate for the best user experience.
  • Lead and participate in quarterly OKRs to drive forward product and organizational goals.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • 3+ years experience in content design for consumer-facing products.

  • Entrepreneurial attitude, ability to deal with rapid changes to priority, scope, and people.
  • Self-starter who can manage multiple projects at a time in a fast-paced environment.
  • You have a writing portfolio that showcases your writing skills including UI copy, style guides, help content, and more.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in Trust & Safety, Privacy, or other related areas.
  • Experience working on a global product with colleagues in different time zones.
  • Experience using Figma.
  • Strong interest in social app products, user and influencer behavior, and associated trends.
