Content Designer (m/w/x)

About Grover

Grover makes access to tech easy, affordable, and sustainable—with flexible tech rental subscriptions. No deposits, no commitment, just tech when you want it for as long as you need it.

With around $1.3 billion in financing, Grover is one of Germany’s best-funded scale-ups, and we’re growing fast. Since 2015, we’ve gone from a small startup operating out of a Berlin apartment to a team of 500+ people, bringing flexible tech subscriptions to renters across Germany, Austria, the USA, Spain, and The Netherlands.

And we’re just getting started. This year, we’re expanding into even more countries and launching even more innovative ways for people to access the tech they need.

Our Mission & Vision

We’re making it possible for more people to get the best out of life–with flexible, affordable access to the tech they need. That was our bold vision when we started back in 2015, and—with over 1 million renters across 5 countries—we’re right on track.

We’re also proud to champion a more sustainable way to use tech. With over 500,000 devices returned, refurbished, and recirculated so far, we’ve already saved 1,500 tons of e-waste from ending up in a landfill.

Want to join us on our mission to give more people flexible access to the tech they need? We’d love to have you on the team.

As a Content Designer within our Product team you’ll:

• Write inspiring headlines, effective call-to-actions, clear 'how it works', informative FAQs, and helpful transactional emails. 
• Compose copy that explains complex topics simply and gets to the point quickly while being enjoyable.
• As we’re scaling, contribute from the ground floor to building and constantly improving our UX writing processes, developing our style guide, and restructuring how we work together best.
• Work closely with other Content Designers, UX Researchers, Product Designers, and Product Managers because writing should be integrated from the beginning of the process, not filled out as an afterthought.
• Hand off copy for translation with the necessary context.
• Actively participate in user testing and draw conclusions from the feedback to improve your copy.

You care about:

• Ownership: you easily communicate ideas, implement them, and take responsibility for your actions
• Helping others: sharing knowledge with your colleagues is on top of your priorities
• Fast-paced startups: you love adapting to different situations, and you know how and when to iterate fast and with high quality
• Our product: you believe in our vision, and are willing to give your best to build the future of Grover

We’re looking for a passionate team player with:

• A gift for English writing.
• impeccable grammar and the flexibility to adjust voice and tone as needed.
• At least 2 years of experience as a writer for the web or digital products and the desire to improve upon/transition into the role of Content Designer.
• The ability to write clear and targeted text that always aims to optimize our product in a user-centric way.
• Skill at translating functional communication goals into emotionally engaging and rationally motivating text while honoring our style guidelines. 
• A quick understanding of briefs and the ability to simultaneously satisfy users’ needs as well as Grover's business goals.
• Confidence in asking questions that will narrow the scope of each task.
• Flow-thinking and consideration of edge cases from multiple perspectives.
• Interest in actively shaping our user research and learning to conduct independent research with our researchers (e.g., conduct user interviews, initiate A/B tests for copy, perform word and language analyses).
• Excitement for trends and topics in UX, digital communication, and product development.

If you don’t tick all these boxes, but this position sounds like a role into which you could grow, send us some samples of your work and we’ll see if you could be a fit.

We know the name game in this discipline is a mixed bag. UX Writer, Content Strategist, Product Copywriter, Galactic Soothsayer of Concise Directional and Helpful Microsentences… if this is the field you’re seeking, you’ve found the right place.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Flexible working hours combined with a semi-remote work structure. Office? Remote? Figure out the balance that works best for you.
• Entrepreneurial responsibilities and upward career growth.
• Engaging, open office located in central Berlin.
• A diverse global team of 40 nationalities (and counting)! Genuinely the nicest group of colleagues who will soon become friends.
• Team events, Grover tech discounts, and expanding perks.
