THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We’re looking for a Content Designer to join our Flywheel UX and Design team in Atlanta or New York.  As a Content Designer on the Flywheel Product team you will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team including Product, Product Design, UX Research, Engineering, Marketing, Commercial, and Analytics. The Flywheel team works on innovative new features and products while building upon existing experiences that our customers love, maintaining our best-in-class status. Through clear, expressive writing, content designers at FanDuel help build products and experiences that engage our fans, inspire trust, and are intuitive and easy to understand.

THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

What you’ll do

• Improve products through clear, compelling, and user-centered content: Collaborate with product designers to develop user stories and flows, create information architectures, and pair the right visual components with the right copy.
• Shape content strategy for new products and features: Collaborate with UX researchers, product managers, designers, marketing, and others to craft content strategy for new features. Align user and business needs using a strategic framework, ensuring consistency. Document user insights and design decisions throughout the project to maintain a clear vision and cohesive approach.
• Advocate for the user: Partner with UX research, product managers, and product designers to gather user insights to inform the design process and ensure that the user’s needs, opinions, behaviors, and motivations are represented in content strategies and other project documentation.
• Shape our design system: Raise the bar for clarity and consistency in all product content, by further developing our content design guidelines as part of our wider foundational design system.
• Strengthen our brand: Work closely with our marketing team to make sure the brand’s voice and tone is consistent throughout product and marketing content. Balance representing the brand with representing the user in your copy.
• Communicate and collaborate: Present your work with a focus on storytelling, articulating insights from UX research and framing your decisions with data-backed rationales. Engage in regular, open conversation within cross-functional teams to build trust in and respect for our work.
• Test, execute, and iterate: Help deliver products at every stage of the design process, beyond just handing off copy documents. Work closely with the research, product, and data teams to determine the performance of your work so you can iterate and improve product content.
