About the role
- Design, write, and refine product content: interface copy, onboarding flows, navigational labels, notifications, and education content
- Prototype with words—testing content in real flows and collaborating with designers and researchers to refine the experience
- Lead workshops and kickoff activities with clients to align on user needs, brand voice, and content principles
- Define and maintain content standards (voice, tone, terminology, taxonomy) to ensure consistency across client products
- Shape narrative frameworks and content systems that scale across features, platforms, and product ecosystems
- Present and explain your work clearly to both clients and teammates, building trust and alignment along the way
- Collaborate with engineers and producers to ensure content is implemented as intended and flexible for iteration
- Occasionally contribute to MetaLab’s own storytelling through editorial writing for our site and channels
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in content strategy, content design, or UX writing—ideally in an agency, consultancy, or multi-client environment
- A portfolio that demonstrates strength in designing product content (not just marketing copy), with examples of interface work, systems, and standards
- Strong craft in writing and editing with a focus on clarity, brevity, and usability
- Experience designing and operationalizing content systems—voice, tone, nomenclature, and frameworks that scale
- Skilled in running workshops, facilitating conversations, and confidently “running the room” with clients and stakeholders
- A strategic thinker comfortable with ambiguity, able to bring clarity in first-to-market or complex product spaces
- Collaborative by default—you thrive in cross-functional teams and enjoy working closely with design, research, and engineering
- Bonus: Experience with naming systems, taxonomies, or design systems
