YOUR IMPACT
Content designers help users get the information users need in the way that they need it. At your core, you care about making the complicated, simple.
You're an ideal candidate if you're just as happy supporting the product strategy and setting standards, such as tone of voice as you are crafting clear and concise interface copy and helpful error messages. You’ll do your best work in an environment that requires proactive and independent self-direction as much as collaboration and open communication.
As a Marcus UX Content Designer, you’ll work with our Design and Product teams to turn complex concepts into content that’s easy to digest and understand, developing a content strategy that makes our products easier for people to use.
You’ll be helping shape the future of the digital products within Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and contributing to setting the standard for content across the business. You’ll build out best-in-class products with our product managers and technologists, whilst focusing on cultivating a culture of collaboration and growth.
You should have a deep understanding of the end to end user-centred design process, with a knack for cracking complex problems and crafting them into elegantly simple, intuitive content with a firm eye on the detail.
