Job description

Role Overview:

Does the thought of protecting millions of users from online harm in an easy and engaging way sound like a great mission for you? Are you a storyteller who views writing and illustration as intertwined, and UI elements are the stage where a business and users share the story of unified outcomes?

At McAfee, we're changing the way we deliver products to our customers and partners by putting a great experience at the forefront of everything we do. We are open to hire someone remotely or at one of our office locations in California, Texas or Ontario, Canada.

As the Manager of Content Design & Strategy on McAfee's Consumer Experience Design team you'll enhance and amplify content design & strategy's role in meeting our business goals and help us satisfy our user's functional and emotional needs.

You will be part of the design leadership team as the leader of the content design team and will drive several cross-functional projects. You'd report to the Senior Manager of Strategy and Research.

Company Overview:

From device to cloud, McAfee provides market-leading cybersecurity solutions for both business and consumers. We help businesses orchestrate cyber environments that are truly integrated, where protection, detection, and correction of security threats happen simultaneously. For consumers, McAfee secures your devices against viruses, malware, and other threats, both at home and away. We want to continue to shape the future of cybersecurity by working together to build best in class products and solutions.

What you'll do:

  • Influence the objectives and long-range goals of the Content Design & Strategy team at McAfee—you will need to define the practice and hire a team of content strategists, content designers, and UX writers who will help you realize the vision.

  • Lead and mentor your team, supporting their career development.
  • Ensure the team has clearly prioritized deliverables for every milestone and produce quality, repeatably and predictably.
  • Actively seek out impediments to the team's efficiency (processes, tools, etc.) and implement solutions that will enable the entire team to work more efficiently, consistently, and repeatably

About you:

  • Thrive on ambiguity, changing priorities, and building something new.
  • Advocate for Content Design and the role it plays in the 'look and feel' of the overall experience
  • Clearly understand the role of content in creating usable experiences that serve user needs as well as business goals
  • Have expert-level knowledge of how to apply a range of content design & strategy methods (ensure sync with brand, voice, and tone guidelines, use content and design systems, user data) to improve how we provide the audience with the content they need, in a way they expect at the time they need it
  • Have a minimum of three years of experience managing a Content Design & Strategy team, preferably in a cross-platform, B2C digital software environment that incorporated management of projects, production, and digital media

·       Have a portfolio of content work undertaken by you or your team that demonstrates your content design process and the work's impact and influence in successfully delivering user value and meeting organizational objectives.
