UX Writer

Bakken & Bæck is a technology-driven design studio working out of Oslo, Amsterdam, Bonn, and London. Building digital products, brands, and businesses, we help ambitious companies identify, explore and respond to new opportunities.

From defining the future home with IKEA to building decentralized platforms with Coinbase; we are in the business of breaking new grounds. As one international team across offices, we have all the skill-sets needed to help businesses adapt to an increasingly complex world.

We’re committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their identity, experiences, and beliefs. We want BB to be a place where you can try out new things with the risk of failing, where you can take ownership over your own work without being micromanaged, and where there’s a low barrier for coming up with ideas — no matter your job title or discipline.

Work-life balance shouldn’t be a perk, but a given. We strongly believe in flexibility, knowing that creativity doesn’t always happen between 9 and 5. At BB you’ll be given a lot of freedom, which means managing your own priorities, trying out new things, and working a flexible hours scheme.

As a UX writer, you will play an integral part in shaping great product experiences through useful, intuitive writing that helps users complete their tasks, and accomplish their goals. Working at the intersection of research, (UX) design, and development, you have a holistic approach to how language helps shape products, and you understand how to effectively establish and implement a unified voice across services and platforms.

- Use your writing and content design skills to create UI copy that enhances user navigation throughout digital services, as well as all touch-points surrounding them ( )like onboarding, error messages, learning materials, emails, and other components of the end-to-end user experience).

- Develop content strategies and guidelines to ensure cohesive product narratives across touch-points, and document every step of the way.

- Collaborate closely with product designers, researchers, strategists and clients, taking products from strategy to implementation and launch, and using your knowledge of language to influence and improve the overall product.

- Be a champion for UX writing across the company and help develop our in-house capabilities. Mentor other writers to strengthen our offering within the discipline.

We are looking for someone who has a deep passion for user-focused product experiences and is forever curious about every step of a user journey. As a writer, you are able to shift between systematic and pragmatic thinking to more creative storytelling. Understanding how brand, design, technology, and writing support each other throughout the user experience is a natural part of your job.
