About the Role

The Design at Client community is pioneering technologies to bring people closer together, and our teams share in the responsibility of doing it at global scale. Our teams design and build Client technologies for billions of people around the world.

The Design at Client editorial team develops, produces and curates content for all design-related publishing channels at Client, including a website (Client.com/design-at-Client) and social media channels (@DesignatClient) that celebrate our global product teams, their work across Client technologies and how we collaborate around Client's mission to build the future of human connection and the technology that makes it possible.

We are looking for an editorial writer to collaborate with our editorial team to tell compelling human-centered stories that synthesize complex and often technical ideas into easily digestible and clear short- and long-form written content that informs, inspires, and entertains our global audience of designers and design-enthusiasts.

You should be able to work collaboratively on concurrent projects, deliver high-quality work on tight deadlines, and adapt to quickly changing demands. You love new challenges and can jump into nearly any situation and contribute meaningfully. Experience writing about design and technology is strongly preferred.

Whether you're a journalist, content marketer, content designer, writer, editor, copywriter or something in between and have experience writing about the field of design, if you're passionate about the intersection of design and tech, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with Design at Client's editorial team to develop compelling, human-centered stories and campaign-ready messaging for a global external audience of designers and design-enthusiasts.

• Strong editorial judgement and the ability to shape raw ideas into clear narratives, spot gaps or risks, and improve structure, clarity, and flow.
• Flexibility and comfort working across multiple content types, pivoting between projects, and adapting to quickly changing priorities, strategies, and demands.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners and navigating feedback cycles (including Legal/Brand review) while maintaining quality and momentum.
• Comfort editing and coaching non-professional writers and subject matter experts to produce publishable work.
