• Conducting heuristic evaluations and content gap and competitive analyses
• Writing personas and user scenarios based on project discovery findings
• Working with clients and internal team to define business objectives and project goals
• Collaborating with brand planners and UX designers to create a content strategy
• Writing copy that is informed by brand voice and tone, subject matter expertise, UX and SEO best practices, and a willingness to break convention when appropriate
• Actively participating in improving the usability of systems by attending usability testing sessions and interpreting results
• Effectively presenting work internally

Requirements:
• A passion for all things digital (platforms, trends, data, devices, etc.)
• A curiosity for how people interact with technology and a desire to simplify the customer journey at every possible touch point
• Experience working on a wide variety of projects that range from large-scale sites to apps to voice and experiential activations
