Job Description

The Copywriter is an integral sense-making designer who crafts copy or content for users when using our digital product.

A problem solver, the Copywriter has special knack for digital user interface (UI) copy and content, obsession with clarity, concern for space, interest in the visual placement of the information, and a sufficient understanding of how websites and apps are built. The latter helps him/her anticipate the copy that is needed, think up of all the possible scenarios a user may embark on and make that whole experience make sense.

The Copywriter conducts design research by delivering research context and requirements based on research objectives, and synthesize data to draw conclusions that drive content (copy and visual) effectiveness.

In addition, he/she demonstrates strong interpersonal, prioritization, and stakeholder management skills in collaborating with product team, engineers, interaction designers, visual designers and various other roles. Not only that he/she is collaborative, the Copywriter brings empathy to the foreground of our efforts by understanding how a user is feeling and what their needs are while interacting with our products.
