Senior Content Designer (Mat Leave Cover)

London 500M+ downloads. 77M+ monthly users. A decade of building – and we’re still accelerating. Flo is the world’s #1 health & fitness app worldwide on a mission. Backed by a $200M investment led by General Atlantic, we became the first product of our kind to reach a $1B valuation in 2024 – and we’re not slowing down. With 6M paid subscribers and the highest‑rated experience in the App Store’s health category, we’ve spent 10 years earning trust at scale. Now, we’re building the next generation of digital health – AI‑powered, privacy‑first, clinically backed – to help our users know their bodies better.

It’s an exciting period of growth for the company. That’s why we need someone who sees the product through our users’ eyes, manages business needs, and will champion the importance of Content Design as an essential part of a product team. Someone who can bring creativity and clarity to every touchpoint and can turn complex concepts into something simple, human, and engaging. You’re an exceptional Content Designer with an interest in health technology that solves real‑world user problems, as well as designing experiments that boost metrics. You can flex between prototyping new products, designing end‑to‑end experiences, and creating compelling microcopy such as feature overviews, paywalls, error messages, and pushes.

You’re comfortable coming up with solutions and new processes, challenging ways of working while also listening in order to understand and serve business needs. You thrive in a fast‑paced, growth‑focussed environment. You’re confident explaining your hypotheses and the process behind your decisions. You’re happy to run workshops, crits, and reviews to not only improve your own work but the work of your peers as well. You lead by example – sharing work and critiquing others based on business needs, user needs and best practices. You collaborate well with Product Management, Product Design, Analysts, Research, Engineering etc. You’re comfortable feeding into planning and prioritisation, both on your product team and on the Content Design team. You continually seek opportunities to help improve the business, experience, workflows or process. You have a passion for Content Design and the value it brings to the design process.
