UX Content Designer

Duration: 3+ month w2 contract
Location: 100% REMOTE
Main objective:

• When there's nothing or very little a content designer can draw from, they do research and discovery to form a perspective and share it with their teams to drive impact.

In this role, you'll map out the direction of content design for the user experience, in our cloud-native data and analytics platform. You'll collaborate with design and product partners to create the holistic user experience, communicate the value and vision of our products to stakeholders and partners, and validate content decisions through style and voice and tone standards, customer empathy and understanding, and research and testing. Your content design decisions lead to growth and success for our products, customers, and company culture.

Your day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with designers to design the product experience through the creation of concept and terminology maps, journey maps, wireframes, task flows, and other deliverables, depending on the team and project needs.
• Partner with product managers to understand user needs through engagement, design thinking-related methods for discovery, market and competitive research and analysis, and user testing.
• Mix user, business, and technology needs to design conceptual models and understand and simplify complex systems. Also focus on streamlining and simplifying content in the interface, in help, and in documentation.
• Apply content design research and thinking to draft user interface microcontent, such as labels, instruction copy, in-product education, in-product help, error messages, and other content.
• Lead and participate in content strategy and design discussions about the organization and presentation of content. You'll help decide not just what the content is but also where it lives and is most effective in the user experience.
• Develop a deep understanding of products and use that knowledge to identify content and design opportunities, such as innovative ways content can appear to guide and support customers.
• Become a collaborative, resourceful partner for the business as it discusses product plans, and deliver content, design, and vision that help boost those plans to success.
• Advocate for content design not just for delivering copy, but also for providing strategic insights about customer goals, business collaboration, taxonomy, information architecture, and other strategic product and design contributions.
• Have an understanding of design and content tools, including content management systems and other tools that can help with content creation, delivery, and quality. (And, yes, this is the bullet item that specifically mentions AI. We're using those tools too.)
• Play a crucial role in refining content and design standards and integrating them into the design system. This work includes making the design system itself easy to use and navigate, contributing to the adoption of the system and faster go-to-market with consistent high quality.
• Be you, and be user focused. That will lead to success in this role. And you'll tap into your passion and skills as a writer and communicator every day.

You will be on an empowered team and work closely with cross-functional leaders and stakeholders throughout the duration of the product lifecycle.
