(Don’t worry, you don’t need to be good at math.)

About the role

What You will do

• Work with the Creative Team, Design Team and Product Team to craft simple, delightful and effective in-app communication including - but not limited to - buttons, tooltips, empty states, etc. 
• Assume nothing, test everything. Proactively reach out to customers to get feedback about their product experience and make changes to your copy for ease of use.
• Set the tone of content in collaboration with the Creative (Marketing) Team.

What you will need 

Must-haves  

• 3 - 5 years of relevant writing experience.
• A portfolio of UX writing samples.

• A can-do attitude and the ability to use the independence slice offers to your advantage. 

Good to have

• The ability to write with localisation in mind.
• Prior start-up experience with a young consumer brand. 

Important: 

• Please ensure your portfolio links are embedded in your resume. Resumes without portfolio links will automatically be rejected.
