About the Role

Namely is seeking a UX Writer/Copywriter to join the Product Design team. We’re growing rapidly and working closely with engineers, customers, and support to help re-make and grow some amazing capabilities.

As UX Writer, you’ll help set the tone and voice for Namely’s brand as expressed through its product. You will work closely with UX/UI product designers, product managers, and researchers to help us find the right way of guiding a variety of users through tasks large and small. You’ll help us make tasks which might seem either mundane or complex become simple and intuitive. And of course you’ll work closely with our Marketing copy and content team on evolving and implementing the Namely style. From changing the way admins run payroll, or employees think about complex benefits systems, to just helping people communicate within and across teams, this is an opportunity to help develop better ways for people to work together.

Please submit a portfolio or writing sample with your application.

  • Manage deadlines across multiple concurrent projects.

Requirements  

  • BA in English, journalism, advertising, marketing or other relevant field or equivalent education and experience.
  • A minimum of 3+ years of web content production and UI writing experience.

  • An advocate for users and their needs throughout their tasks.
  • Understanding of design principles, web writing best practices and how content fits into the user experience.
