UX Writer

Here’s Vicci, our UX Content Manager

“Working at Catawiki means talking about bonsai pruning techniques one minute and marvelling at vintage TV games the next. There’s no place quite like it. Our passion is unrivalled and you can see it in the way we work together and share our knowledge. As a UX Writer, you’ll collaborate across teams, helping to shape the voice of Catawiki. You’ll be directly involved in guiding users through the platform, while providing the little moments of delight that keep them coming back.”

How you'll make an impact

• Collaborate with UX Designers, UX Researchers, Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists and fellow UX Writers to create designs that meet user needs and help grow the business.
• Validate and test your copy to make a tangible impact.
• Create copy that’s optimised for transcreation and work with the Localisation team to ensure your copy is seamlessly localised for all our markets.
• Work with a range of stakeholders across the company to advocate for the value of UX writing and ensure the Catawiki voice is used consistently across all touchpoints.
  

What you’ll bring

• You’re passionate about UX and the power of copy in driving user and business goals.
• You’re fluent in English with excellent written English skills.
• You have 2+ years of experience writing UX copy in close collaboration with Designers.
• You’re familiar with the UX design process and you make design decisions based on user insights.

• You think holistically and excel at balancing the user, product and business contexts.
• You’re a natural storyteller who can write simple copy about complicated processes.

• Experience with user research and testing is a plus. 
• Familiarity with tools like Figma, Sketch, or Miro is a plus.
