Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Content Designer, Associate, London

OUR IMPACT

MARCUS BY GOLDMAN SACHS

The firm’s direct-to-consumer business, Marcus by Goldman Sachs, combines the entrepreneurial spirit of a start-up with more than 150 years of experience. Today, we help over 900k customers with their savings goals, leveraging innovative design, data, and engineering to provide customers with products that are grounded in value, transparency, and simplicity.

YOUR IMPACT

Content designers help users get the information they need in the way that they need it. At your core, you care about making the complicated simple. You’re an ideal candidate if you’re just as happy supporting the product strategy and setting standards, such as tone of voice, as you are crafting clear and concise interface copy and helpful error messages. You’ll do your best work in an environment that requires proactive and independent self-direction as well as collaboration and open communication.

As a Marcus UX Content Designer, you’ll work with our Design and Product teams to turn complex concepts into content that’s easy to digest and understand, developing a content strategy that makes our products easier for people to use. You’ll be helping shape the future of the digital products within Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and contributing to setting the standard for content across the business. You’ll build out best-in-class products with our product managers and technologists, whilst focusing on cultivating a culture of collaboration and growth. You should have a deep understanding of the end-to-end user-centred design process, with a knack for cracking complex problems and crafting them into elegantly simple, intuitive content with a firm eye on the detail.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Write impactful, simple content to support user journeys and actions across all of our channels (web, app, email, SMSs, and letters). Ensure that copy meets brand tone and find ways to optimise it.

• Identify best approaches to processes, working in an Agile framework.
• Build long-term strategic relationships with stakeholders to align on business and user needs.
• Create prototypes to help visualise content in context - understanding how to test and demonstrate findings to your stakeholders.
• Influence stakeholders and expertly manage relationships to deal with challenges, building strategic relationships that help you focus on customer needs with clarity.
• Champion accessibility at all stages, making recommendations and improvements.
• Establish content patterns and behaviours, and oversee implementation and adherence to standards.
• Effectively manage a busy workload across multiple projects at once.
