At Sage, Content Designers play a vital role by creating succinct digital content that gives users the right information, at the right time and in the right format as they navigate our digital products. You'll join a team of Content Designers primarily within our small business segment based in Newcastle, where you'll work closely with UX Designers and Solution Designers to produce content across the end to end user journey to ensure users can complete their goals.
The content you produce will guide the user to success. This could involve microcopy to help the users navigate our products or user assistance for further help and guidance. As well as language and authoring best practices, you'll need UX/technical writing skills and an understanding of user-centred design. Writing is one thing - but you'll know that doing it in a UX setting is entirely another. For you - and the hundreds of thousands of users who will benefit from your work - it's all about context.
The process of distilling complex, technical know-how into easily understood content is just one of your many passions. And it's that combination of passions that makes you such a unique proposition as an employee. That's why we'd love someone like you, whose experience is crucial to quality UX, to join us here.
