Senior Content Designer (12-month FTC)

Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new. We are an equal opportunity employer and strive to create an inclusive environment for everyone. If you need adjustments to complete the application, email adjustments@depop.com with your name, role, and the type of support you need.

We use AI tools (Google Gemini) to help our team source and review applications for roles with a high volume of applications. These tools assist recruiters in identifying great talent but do not replace human decision-making. All hiring decisions are made by humans.

As a Senior Content Designer in the Depop Marketplace pillar, you will work across squads to create a seamless, efficient and trustworthy experience for the Depop community, and support other experience areas as needed.

• Own content end-to-end for your experience area(s) across the Depop apps (iOS & Android) and Depop.com.
• Partner closely with designers, researchers, product managers and engineers to ship impactful work you’re proud of.
• Use feedback and user testing results to iterate effectively.
• Elevate content quality, defining what good looks like with your teams and providing guidance to non-writers where necessary.
• Work with legal and regulatory teams to ensure content is compliant with industry standards and regulations, where necessary.
• Contribute to the evolution of content standards at Depop, including writing guidelines and AI best practices.

• You have a strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to write clear and engaging content for a variety of digital products and platforms.
• 5-8+ years experience as a UX writer / content designer.
• Experience writing for a US audience, or localising your content.
• You’re able to balance key user needs with business objectives.
• You have a strong understanding of UX design principles and how content influences user behaviour and interaction.
• You’re able to justify your copy decisions with user research, competitor research or UX best practices.
• You have excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively individually and as part of particular squads where necessary.
• You have strong organisational skills and thrive in an environment that requires you to manage multiple projects with several teams simultaneously.
• You’re proficient in Figma and know when AI can and can’t help you produce your best work.

Heads up: this role probably isn’t for you if your experience is mostly in marketing content, advertising, copywriting or journalism – and you have no hands-on experience of content design or working in UX.
