COVID-19 Vaccination Policy
Prosper is continuing to grow our team during the COVID-19 pandemic, conducting fully remote hiring and onboarding processes. Our philosophy as a business is to approach the COVID-19 situation with empathy and urgency. Prosper’s top priority is the health and safety of our employees and of the communities we serve, including our customers, partners, prospects, and candidates. In accordance with this priority, along with our legal responsibility to provide and maintain a workplace that is safe and free of known hazards, we have adopted a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy which requires all of our employees to receive vaccinations, unless they have an approved accommodation.
The Role
We are continuing our aggressive growth within the design team and are looking for a UX Writer to support our growing portfolio of products – including a completely new product to be launched in the next year.
Prosper builds personalized and simple financial solutions for our customers. We believe in tapping into our engaged user base through rigorous qualitative and quantitative research to uncover their unmet needs and improve their financial lives. As a UX Writer and member of the design team, you are more than a copywriter: you apply UX design principles to tackle complex financial problems and meet them with simple, elegant written solutions. You’ll apply our voice, tone, copy style, and accessibility guidelines to design with words across various products and parts of our user journey. You’ll work collaboratively with various types of stakeholders, with a particular focus working directly with our UX designers, researchers and product managers—as well as marketing, customer experience, legal, credit risk, and capital markets.
Problems You Will Solve
- Write clear, concise, and conversational copy for financial product experiences.
- Work closely with other UX designers, writers, and researchers to understand our users’ pain points and behaviors, then shape user flows and UI for our experiences.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Marketing, Customer Experience, Legal, and Credit Risk to identify pain points, build solutions, and establish an engaging product experience.
- Collaborate with other writers, designers, and researchers to contribute to our internal design system, content strategy, best practices, and documentation.
- Work with stakeholders and reviewers to evolve the brand voice and keep it consistent.
- Work with our content strategy team to support everything from product flows to email to fully integrated campaigns.

- You have excellent writing and editing skills.
