RingCentral surrounds you with world-class technology and talent, in a people-first environment built from the ground up to help you do the best work of your career. We’re not just changing the nature of communication and teamwork. We’re winning, together.

Our Product team develops and manages features, interfaces and designs that set our applications apart. You drive strategy and development and your technical expertise will help our platform deliver the look, feel and function that redefines the way the world communicates.

About the team:

The inclusive and diverse RingCentral UX team (Medium Blog) is based at RingCentral HQ in Belmont, CA, and encompassing interaction design, visual design, research, and content strategy. We work closely with local product and engineering teams and remote development centers in Odessa, Ukraine, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Xiamen, China. Our team has a voice at the executive level of the organization, reporting directly to the EVP of Innovation. We deliver our initiatives in an environment of collaboration, high productivity, and low drama.


About the role:

You must be able to work independently on multiple projects, engaging at all levels of the organization from individual contributors to executive staff. You demonstrate a passion for improving the customer experience and understand that culture is the foundation of success in UX.

  • Help define and scale editorial processes, standards, and quality measures

  • Maintain and evolve our product content style guide and glossary and educate designers, product manager, and engineers on how to use them

  • Build strong relationships and collaborate with designers, researchers, product managers, developers, marketing, and other stakeholders across the company

  • Direct content research projects to understand our customers’ communication needs and support insights-driven decision-making

  • Serve as a subject matter expert and mentor to the broader UX team as it relates to content strategy

  • Contribute to the growth and culture of the UX team

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited university in English, journalism, communications, marketing creative writing, technical writing, information management or a related field

  • 5+ years of writing experience in a global environment

  • Strong, proven content strategy development and product content writing skills, ideally at a consumer tech company

  • Strong portfolio of UX-focused writing samples and style guidelines for web and mobile applications

  • Excellent empathy for the customer – demonstrated success in applying Design Thinking methodologies and UX best practices

  • Ability to work through ambiguity and competing priorities

Preferred Qualifications

  • M.A. in English, journalism, communications, marketing creative writing, technical writing, information management or a related field

  • Experience writing for voice and/or video products

An Insider's view of RingCentral

What are some social events your company does?

Outside of holiday festivities, the biggest program is RingCentral Spirit Week in October. Events are planned for everyday of the week and include interactive webinars, global relay runs, philanthropic giving as well as plain ol' fashion fun. We always has a lot of pride, but this week in particular the orange and blue really shine through!

Employee Programs, Manager

What projects are you most excited about?

The diversity initiatives I'm most excited about is a values-based interview for prospective folks. Enabling diverse candidates means having diverse interview panels that reflect the company. These will help candidates and hiring managers ensure that there's a values alignment, which is much more prudent than a "culture fit."

Jedd

Diversity Associate

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Working on my team is really fun! It’s very supportive, we help each other out as much as possible. I was able to work on something, have it built, and use it every day - that’s what I like about it here.
