Job description

Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love.

As Lead UX Content Strategist on the Design Foundations team, you are a passionate advocate for the power of words to create frictionless user experiences across products. You build customer trust by simplifying complexity, humanizing technical jargon, and inviting everyone with inclusive language. You foster collaborations with the broader R&D organization and marketing to achieve alignment around your approach, using governance as a key tool to provide consistency.

You’re right for this role if you have previously defined the process by which the tone of voice for products comes to life through content. You have a keen eye for succinct, clear language that stays true to the rules of grammar, brand voice, and style. Your expert verbal and written communication skills make you both an inspirational mentor to team members and a leadership influencer.

About this role* (responsibilities): 

  • Manage the development of a content strategy for Toast products using UX writing and information architecture best practices
  • Define Toast’s UX writing conventions based on our brand tone of voice — owning copy consistency across products
  • Work closely with Toast’s Design Systems Team, Designers, Researchers, and Product Managers to understand requirements and produce clear, concise, helpful guidelines, documentation, and user experiences
  • Conduct content inventories and audits to inform navigation and other information architecture decisions
  • Write human, simple copy considering multiple solutions and delivering well-thought-out options on time
  • Handle multiple assignments with ease and mentor contributors to the UX writing space with grace
  • Present confidently and deliver work to a variety of audiences, articulating copy choices and the thinking behind your recommendations

Do you have the right ingredients*? (requirements):

  • Experience UX writing or content strategy on a product team.
  • Relevant BA/BS degree preferred
  • Love mentoring team members in the craft of producing great copy
  • Experience defining system-wide product writing standards, guides, and frameworks
  • Experience working with design systems
  • Understanding of UX design with the ability to recognize when the copy isn't the solution to the problem
  • Experience with existing style guides (AP, Chicago) and adapting them to your brand or product portfolio
  • Experience with information architecture including content mapping, content audits and taxonomy development.
  • Passion for the production of simple, straightforward, user-centered copy and a demonstrable portfolio to prove it
  • Comfortable working in Zeroheight, Google docs, Figma
  • Innovative thinking, empathy, and a desire to continuously learn and evolve 

Our spread* of Total Rewards (benefits):

  • Flexible time off
  • Sabbatical opportunity after five years
  • 401(k) and matching
  • Medical, dental, & vision coverage
  • Mental Health Benefits
  • 100% paid childbirth recovery medical leave
  • 16 weeks of 100% paid parental leave
  • Eligibility for 100% paid medical or family leave
  • Subsidized backup childcare
