Job description

Our Design teams are focused not just on the functional, but also on joy and delight. Our work ignites opportunity and changes the way the world moves, and we design for users around the world of all backgrounds and abilities.

About the Role

Uber is building an Inclusive Design team and practice. Inclusive Design's goal is to provide equitable experiences for everyone Uber serves. Help us cultivate and grow this practice, bringing underinvested communities to the forefront of Design at Uber!

As an Inclusive Content Designer, you'll work across products and fields and closely with partners to build accessible and inclusive experiences for all of Uber's users. You'll work to understand existing and potential problems and build solutions that center the goals, needs, and perspectives of underinvested communities. You'll help teams form a shared understanding around aspects of how content and language impact accessibility and inclusion--delivering on the Inclusive Design component of the 14 anti-racism commitments we've made.

You should be comfortable in uncharted territory as we are embarking on this product area for the first time, as the company continues to rapidly innovate and usher in an era where Uber enables you to go anywhere and get anything. We need your skills and passion to make it happen!

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate and design with underinvested communities to ensure their goals, needs, and perspectives are centered in your work
  • Adapt and innovate design methods to meet accessibility and inclusion needs by delivering high-quality solutions
  • Contribute to learning materials, resources, and workshops on how to successfully design with and for underinvested communities
  • Collaborate with other researchers, designers, product managers, data scientists, marketing and operations managers, and engineers to ensure your designs provide a holistic view of our users
  • Communicate the strategy and reasoning behind all content designs through rich storytelling
  • Contribute to establishing the Inclusive Design team at Uber and cultivate an internal culture with inclusive design at its foundation

Basic Qualifications

  • A portfolio of samples that demonstrate your skill and efficiency as a writer.
  • A beginner's mind. Humility, willingness to ask for help, and an eagerness to learn and grow. You approach everything with curiosity and are willing to change your mind when presented with new information.
  • Impact driven. You are passionate about the outcomes and impact for all users, not just the few. You are collaborative and are able to work across teams and with partners.

Preferred Qualifications

  • A passion for crafting products for a global audience: not just through translation, but reimagining products so that they're effective in cultures around the globe
  • Experience working on complex products with global impact and real-world implications
  • Knowledge of information architecture best practices
  • Ability to wireframe with content instead of boxes and arrows
  • Experience using and contributing to existing content guidelines to deliver understandable and sophisticated solutions
  • Ability to travel within the United States and abroad
  • Demonstrates passion for creating more inclusive spaces and experiences
  • Desire to deeply understand the opportunity space and user needs
  • Ability to think beyond the digital screen and design for human emotions and interactions in the physical world
  • Ability to cultivate positive relationships even through difficult projects and subject matter

At Uber, we ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion. We take on big problems to help drivers, riders, delivery partners, and eaters get moving in more than 10,000 cities around the world.
