  • Collaborate with product designers through codesigning experiences, or sharing knowledge and training designers in UX writing
  • Own and drive initiatives to evolve the practice of content design at Xero
  • Develop relationships with crossfunctional partners and build awareness of the value and impact of content design

What you'll bring:

  • Experience working as a content designer, UX writer, or content strategist in a design team
  • Excellent UX writing and content design skills you're able to structure information to create intuitive, accessible experiences and communicate complex ideas in simple language
  • A positive and proactive approach to influencing stakeholders and advocating for content design
