Why Zendesk?

At Zendesk, diversity, equity and inclusion are more than buzzwords, and bigger than the bottom line. Itâs about our people knowing that theyâre valued where they work. Employees at Zendesk work hard to build a culture where everyone belongs. Employee Resource Groups play a vital role in creating communities that bring us together and ensure we feel supported at work.

 

Why Content Design?

Content Designers at Zendesk use language and design to solve user experience problems. We think in systems, creating global standards that keep our products consistent. We also think in moments, writing clear, contextual product copy that helps users reach their goals.

What youâll be doing everyday:

• Write in-product messaging, interface copy, product education materials, navigational nomenclature, and other content 

• Conduct audits of existing product language and pinpoint areas of improvement ( eg. error messages, CTAs, labels, empty states, sign-up flows)

• Maintain and help evolve content standards, best practices, guidelines, principles, and taxonomies for various audiences and initiatives 

• Partner with product designers to shape the user experience through language, components, and interaction patterns

• Bridge the gap between brand and product in the areas of style, standards, and communication in a way that supports the overall customer experience

What you need to succeed: 

• 5+ years of experience writing digital content  (websites, software, instructional content)

• 3+ years focused on UI content 

• Strong editing skills and a love of communication

• Good eye for product design best practices

• Knowledge of software as a service
