Overview
Our client, a fintech company, is undertaking a major overhaul of its marketing site and help center as part of a broader brand relaunch. The Senior UX Content Lead will own the end-to-end content strategy and UX writing for this effort, ensuring the experience is customer value–driven, differentiated, and easy to navigate. This role is a senior, hands-on IC that will also help guide and coordinate other writers (including more junior UX writers) across the project.
Core Responsibilities
Website & Help Center Content Leadership
- Lead content strategy and UX copy for the new marketing site and help center, with the website as the primary focus.
- Define content structure, page flows, and messaging hierarchy to move users from discovery to clear, confident actions.
- Translate overall brand and product strategy into a cohesive narrative across marketing pages and support content.
- Identify content gaps and opportunities across the site and help center to better support key customer journeys.
Content Team Leadership & Coordination
- Act as content lead across multiple writers (e.g., product-focused writer, junior UX writers), setting direction and standards.
- Break down workstreams, assign content areas, and review/QA copy for consistency, quality, and effectiveness.
- Establish guidelines, templates, and processes that enable a scalable, repeatable content practice for the broader project.
Product & Customer Education
- Turn complex financial products and workflows into clear, accessible, customer value–driven narratives.
- Create content that clearly communicates “what it is,” “why it matters,” and “how it helps” for different audiences and levels of familiarity.
- Support both:
- New prospects evaluating the product
- Existing customers with low awareness of the broader product suite
Help Center & Self-Serve Experience
- Lead the complete overhaul of the help center: reorganizing IA, rewriting existing content, and defining new content types (guides, walkthroughs, interactive elements, etc.).
- Design a self-serve experience that reduces friction and support needs by making it easy for users to find and act on answers.
- Partner with design and product to introduce more interactive and guided experiences where appropriate.
Brand, Voice & Experience Integration
- Apply the new brand identity, positioning, voice, and tone across all UX and help content.
- Balance personality, clarity, and trust—especially in higher-stakes or more complex financial scenarios.
- Ensure content across marketing and help surfaces feels cohesive, modern, and differentiated from competitors.
Cross-Functional Partnership
- Work closely with:
- Marketing/Integrated Marketing leadership (primary stakeholder)
- Product and product marketing partners
- Design, UX, and web/digital producer/program manager
- Other copywriters contributing to the project
- Participate in working sessions, reviews, and retros; iterate quickly based on feedback, performance, and learnings.

-
Proven experience leading content for large-scale website and/or help center overhauls end to end.

- Design content journeys that move users through multi-step, multi-surface experiences
- Nice to have:
