  • Document copy decisions for cross-functional usage, managing stakeholders, and building alignment
  • Present to, collaborate with, and influence product, research, and marketing teams
  • Wear multiple hats, helping to work on any project as needed

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, writing, English, and/or advertising (or applicable experience)
  • 5+ years of proven history writing copy for products, such as UX writing, conversational design, content marketing, product marketing, etc.
  • Expertise with product scrum teams and research
  • Attitude of mentorship and a knack for inspiring others to be their best every day
  • Ability to see many different ways to tackle a problem and weigh the pros/cons of each 
  • Ability to balance business objectives with user needs and team needs. You represent all sides of the business and know how to create the best outcomes for each.
  • A generally positive outlook and attitude. We’re going to spend a lot of time together. Let’s make it fun.
  • A relentless desire to make banking really, really, really (we mean it!) work to our users’ benefit

What we offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience, medical and dental benefits, as well as a 401k match
  • Free snacks and drinks, plus weekly catered lunches.
  • Flexible vacation policy.
  • Monthly happy hours and company events.
  • A challenging and fulfilling opportunity to join one of the most experienced teams in FinTech and help create a completely new kind of banking service.
