UX Writer

Sweep is hiring aUX Writer, tasked to make Sweep’s copy simple, accurate and engaging, whether it’s in the UI, platform content like in our carbon surveys, or in our training and documentation.

We’re a remote first company, but ideally you’re based in London or Paris to work closely with our design teams.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. By empowering companies with technology that helps them manage their climate impact, we believe Sweep can make a meaningful contribution to a better future for all of us. 
We’ve raised a total of USD 100 Million in 12 months, ready to accelerate on our mission and to have real impact, real fast.

I’m intrigued. What would I be doing?

You will have a key role in making sense of complex, nonlinear user interfaces with the exact right words in the right place, and making sure our users can swiftly navigate and absorb the complexities of carbon accounting.

Together with our quickly growing team, you will turn complex facts into accessible, actionable and engaging prose. From nailing the perfect two words on a button in the product, build out scalable and consistent systems, to editing best-in class documentation, this is a UX copy role with a broad remit, and will never be repetitive or boring.

We’re aiming to build the best (sounding) software and marketplace out there, and become an authoritative voice that makes climate topics digestible, leading to action.

Nice. Can you be a bit more specific please?

In your day to day, you will...

• Translations: Manage the localisation of our offerings for various languages and countries, working with translators and agencies on adapting both language and meaning of our words.
• Copywriting: Accessible documentation, informative climate project descriptions, engaging marketing content and pitch-perfect sales materials, etc.

2. Be the guardian of our voice 🚨

• Collaborate with the Marketing content team on our copy guidelines, to ensure we connect the dots across the customer journey and speak in one voice across all channels.

3. Become an advocate for Sweep 🎙
