The UX Content Strategy team is looking for a seasoned UX Content Strategist who also has a great knack for marketing content. You would own content across Squarespace.com, from tour pages to contextual help, from navigation hierarchy to page structures. We're looking for a strategist who can use words to design thoughtful, accessible user experiences. 

You enjoy working through the minutiae of complex problems. You love process, but also know when you need to deviate. You enjoy working with a diverse range of personalities and skillsets. You love to collaborate, harnessing feedback from senior-level partners and providing solutions that match their intent. You know how to manage your time and feel a sense of ownership—not just for your work, but for the quality of all our products.

You’ll be involved throughout the process for many user-facing projects in the product organization. Your go-to team consists of product designers, product managers, engineers, marketing, and more. Your role stretches across an equally diverse range of departments, including Product Marketing, Product Design, Brand Design, and Brand Strategy. You will report into the UX Content Strategy manager at our New York office.

  • Provide polished content to other team members and advocate for language in product design
  • Create rational, articulable, elegant solutions to complex problems
  • Work to understand the capabilities and constraints of our systems

QUALIFICATIONS

  • At least 6+ years of combined experience in UX content strategy and in writing marketing-focused copy for global, consumer-facing products
  • Deep awareness of UX and how copy and design work together
  • Experience working on product content that incorporates visual and written elements
  • Experience creating content for international audiences and preparing source language for localization
  • Experience asking probing questions to give/receive feedback in an iterative environment
  • Excellent sounding board; comfortable pointing out when a design could be better
