• Contribute to our design language to help establish language and tone consistency across all platforms
• Challenge the status quo—push for the experience you believe is best
• Always put users first. Their journey with us should be easy, transparent, and even fun, from start to finish

Required skills:

• At least 5 years of professional copywriting experience, either at an agency or in-house
• Experience writing UX and product copy
• Self-starter, someone who will take initiative and be proactive when faced with a challenge
• Able to manage time well and deliver excellent work on tight deadlines
• Prior experience working in finance or related field preferred but not required
• Able to grasp difficult concepts quickly and translate them into words that are easy and pleasant to read
