Job description

UX Writers at PlayStation help define the user experience for new and existing PlayStation products, services, and off-console experiences, delivering high-quality messaging based on the feature spec, established style guides, business objectives, and overall UX philosophies. This includes actively participating in and giving constructive feedback in early Product grooming and UX design sessions, then driving the writing process through iteration, stakeholder/partner approval, and handoff to localization.

  • Able to become an expert on your assigned products, gauge new products and features, and make constructive suggestions that aid in their ideation and development
  • Able to be a strong brand advocate who works with diverse teams to achieve business objectives
  • Experience with delivering messaging that must be localized into multiple languages
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating user experience knowledge
  • Solid knowledge of design and layout principles, and accessibility
  • Willing to enjoy a relaxed office with co-workers who truly enjoy what they do
