Job description

This is a hybrid role. Our office is in Manchester city centre and you’ll need to be able to work there at least one day a week.

We’re looking for a motivated Content Designer to join Vypr’s multidisciplinary Product team.

About this role

In this role, you’ll:

• Help lead content design and strategy across our platform and app
• Work with colleagues across Vypr to understand and solve valuable customer problems
• Create clear, user-focused UI content that helps our customers achieve their goals
• Define content design standards and patterns
• Collaborate with experts to write long-form content
• Explore how to help customers solve problems using AI
• Manage, organise and iterate on content you create
• Take part in customer research

About Vypr’s Product team

Our cross-functional, agile Product team brings together content and product designers, delivery managers, engineers and product managers to solve valuable business problems and deliver against Vypr’s product roadmap.

As Vypr’s a scale‑up, pace is a priority for us and so we don’t work the same way as Product teams in larger organisations.

This means finding someone that’s the right fit for this role isn’t easy (which is why we’ve been advertising it for a while now).

This will be our fifth design hire and our second content designer. It’s for you if you want to work in a team:

• That values and understands how important content design is
• Where you don’t have to navigate bureaucracy or complex sign‑off processes to be able to do your best work
• Where the speed of delivery means you won’t have to wait months (or years) to see your work launch
• Where you can help set content design direction, rather than get stuck following already established, prohibitively complex guidelines
• That values progress over perfection

About you

You’ll:

• Have worked in an agile product development team across various stages of the product development process, from discovery to iteration of live features
• Have a background in content design or UX writing with robust experience in an in‑house team or agency
• Have a good command of design tools such as Figma, Miro and Notion
• Be comfortable talking to users and knowledgeable about user research best practices

You’ll also be:

• A clear communicator. You know that asking questions to clarify your understanding is important, and you can speak confidently about your approach and decisions, pitching at the correct level of detail dependant on context and who you are working with.
• Collaborative. You move between individual, focused work and group collaboration easily. You have a good instinct for when to partner with other team members (not just designers), and canvassing for feedback and critique is a key part of how you work. You know that building strong relationships with other colleagues is crucial to your understanding of problems and distilling them into content that is useful and easily understood.
• Flexible. You are effective at any point in the product development process. You know how to break down complex problems using sketches, prototypes, wireframes or written documents to increase your understanding and make progress. If you’re working through something that’s already well defined, you appreciate the clear goal and focus in on how to deliver to it.
• Pragmatic. You understand we have big growth ambitions and can balance quality with speed of shipping. You consider context and practical implications when making decisions and know when to compromise and when to be steadfast in your approach.
• A problem solver. You enjoy breaking down problems and using evidence to find effective solutions. Whether it’s data or user research, you seek out information that helps you make well‑informed decisions.
• Organised. You understand that turning an idea into a feature in a multidisciplinary team involves many steps, so you take a methodical and detail‑oriented approach.
