You’ll be owning and leading the most complex content projects and influencing senior stakeholders across the business. You're an ideal candidate if you're just as happy supporting the big-picture strategy and setting standards as you are helping to mentor and support others and being a champion for the content design culture .

• Partner with senior stakeholders in brand, marketing, sales, product and customer care to align on content and ensure a joined up user experience.
• Facilitate discussions across complex areas or projects to meet business and user needs
• Influence decisions, deal with conflicting priorities, and remove blockers.
• Take responsibility for content quality, review the work of others to assure quality and mentor content colleagues on their writing
• Be responsible for improving and implementing efficient processes, collaborative ways of working, and content standards
• Proactively gather data and insights to build strong evidence for content decisions and direction
• Influence and facilitate user research to improve the quality of content, build empathy and gain a deep understanding of our users and their needs
• Be a vocal and visible advocate for content design best practice, engage with TK and external design communities and stay knowledgeable on latest industry changes.
• Set a standard for other content designers on the team and lead by example in ways of working, collaboration, and content craft
• Be a mentor to other designers and support overall team development

What we’re looking for:

• Extensive experienced in owning and leading content design projects and strategy for digital products
• A motivated and proactive problem solver who is adaptable to change
• A deep understanding of end-to-end journeys and how content is affected within these journeys
• Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills
• Professional English level with fluent proficiency in English grammar, vocabulary, and a solid understanding of native UK or US English idioms and vernacular
• A champion of accessible and inclusive content and helping others understand why it’s important
• Experienced in creating, embedding, and maintaining content standards, style guides, and tone of voice guidelines
• Knowledgeable on latest technology, such as generative AI, and the role and impact of content design in that space.
• Ability to organise, facilitate and lead design meetings, workshops, and critiques
• Expert communicator of ideas, concepts, and rationale for content decisions to influence stakeholders and strategy
• Comfortable influencing and conducting user research to improve the quality of content and user experience
• Portfolio or case studies that showcase how your work has directly impacted and improved the user experience, key product metrics or customer satisfaction scores
