We are seeking a talented UX Writer to join a dedicated Web Operations (Digital Experience - DX) team supporting a high-profile automotive client. Working alongside UX Designers, UI Designers, Content Strategists, CX Researchers, SEO specialists, Analysts, Developers, and Product teams, you will help shape customer experiences through clear, intuitive, and strategically crafted digital content. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives at the intersection of UX, content, and customer experience design.

You will play a key role in shaping how content supports usability, accessibility, discoverability, and engagement across the client’s web ecosystem — from transactional journeys and product experiences through to support content, operational updates, campaign activity, and continuous optimisation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create clear, concise, and customer-centred UX copy across web experiences including navigation, transactional journeys, forms, support content, microcopy, onboarding flows, notifications, and interaction states.
• Collaborate closely with UX and UI Designers to ensure content is seamlessly integrated within wider digital experiences and customer journeys.
• Translate complex automotive, technical, or operational information into intuitive and accessible user-facing content.
• Contribute to the design and optimisation of customer journeys across desktop, tablet, and mobile experiences.
• Ensure content supports usability, accessibility, discoverability, and overall experience quality across the client’s web ecosystem.
• Work within collaborative design workflows using tools such as Figma and Agile delivery methodologies.

Content Optimisation & Operational Delivery:

• Support ongoing content optimisation initiatives using analytics, behavioural insight, customer feedback, and experimentation outcomes.
• Collaborate with SEO specialists and Content Strategists to ensure content aligns with search intent, SEO best practices, and content performance objectives.
• Contribute to content audits, content reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives across operational workstreams.
• Support CMS-driven content operations, publishing workflows, and ongoing web platform enhancements.
• Ensure consistency in tone of voice, terminology, and content standards across multiple digital touchpoints and content types.
• Help identify opportunities to improve content structures, customer understanding, and operational efficiencies within the DX team.

Customer Experience & Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work collaboratively with UX, UI, CX Research, SEO, Analytics, Product, Development, and Content Strategy teams throughout the design and delivery lifecycle.
• Participate in workshops, collaborative working sessions, design critiques, and stakeholder reviews.
• Present and articulate content rationale and UX writing recommendations clearly and confidently to both internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Balance customer needs, business objectives, brand requirements, legal considerations, and technical constraints when developing content solutions.
• Contribute positively to team culture, ways of working, and the ongoing evolution of UX writing best practices across the programme.

What we want from you:

• Proven experience in UX Writing, Content Design, Digital Content, or related disciplines within complex digital environments.
• Strong ability to translate complex information into clear, concise, intuitive, and customer-friendly digital content.
• Excellent writing, editing, proofreading, and communication skills with strong attention to detail.
• Strong understanding of UX principles, digital customer journeys, usability, accessibility, and content-first thinking.
• Experience writing for web platforms, transactional journeys, product experiences, and operational digital environments.
• Experience collaborating closely with UX, UI, SEO, Analytics, Product, and Development teams within multidisciplinary delivery environments.
• Strong understanding of tone of voice development, content consistency, and brand-aligned communication.
• Experience contributing to optimisation, experimentation, or continuous improvement initiatives using insight and performance data.
• Familiarity with CMS-driven workflows and collaborative design tools such as Figma.
• Ability to adapt writing style appropriately across different audiences, touchpoints, and customer journey stages.
• Strong stakeholder management and presentation skills with the confidence to challenge constructively and advocate for customer-centred improvements.
• Automotive, retail, eCommerce, technology, or other customer experience-led industry experience is advantageous but not essential.
• Understanding of SEO and accessibility best practices is highly beneficial.
• Native-level English proficiency in speaking and writing.
• Strong portfolio showcasing UX writing, content design, or digital content experience across web platforms is essential.
