Company mission

To shape both the future of work, and the future of productivity tools.

Role

Who you are

  • We have no end of fascinating challenges that can only be solved by someone with innate product & UX sense, technical aptitude, great taste, and impeccable craft
  • This isn’t your first rodeo. We are looking for at least 6+ years of experience as a UX writer
  • First and foremost, you are an incredibly skillful writer with a command of the English language in both consumer and technical contexts
  • You design with words and collaborate deeply and easily with product designers as peers
  • You’re an experienced manager and practitioner. You bring a love for craft to both. You’d be happy and fulfilled doing either
  • You are a systems thinker, who has been able to bring clarity to complex products
  • You have sensitivity and awareness of brand voice, neutral voices, product marketing, and product design. You enjoy collaborating with cross functional partners and often initiate the collaboration
  • You have strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who collaborates well with different stakeholders. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach a decision
  • You understand that momentum drives progress
  • You value working cross-functionally with project management, engineering, research and data — in addition to your design peers

Desirable

  • Multi-lingual – You can read and write with professional proficiency in multiple languages (Japanese, Korean, Spanish, etc.)
  • Builder spirit – You build out of interest and passion, and have launched projects on the web
  • Visual design skills – You complement your language with visual communication

What the job involves

  • You’ll report directly to our Head of Design
  • You’ll be establishing a new practice, at a special and beloved brand, which deeply values craft. This is an opportunity to do the best work of your life for a business and team that want it
  • Imagine yourself in the 1970s or 80s thinking through how computing should look and feel for people who had never seen one before. That's what we're trying to do at Notion — make software that feels timeless, with the craftsmanship of German cameras, playfulness of Japanese toys, and mass appeal of Coca-Cola
  • You’ll be a key member of the strong, influential, and growing Design team. You’ll collaborate with and educate nearly every designer, current and future, at Notion
  • Clear, consistent, and high-quality language across all Notion products
  • Establish the practice of UX Writing both through your own actions and contributions, as well as sharing and spreading those around the company
  • Directly contributing to new product designs with your own writing and guidance to designers
  • Auditing, proposing, and making recommendations to improve existing products
  • Document and maintain the norms and standards for UX writing across the company and product
  • A thriving UX Writing practice and team

Our take

Managing busy workflows using fragmented systems can be a headache for both individuals and businesses. Notion aims to combat this problem by enabling users to work from one central hub, customizing their workflows to suit their exact needs. This includes managing files, scheduling tasks, saving documents, writing to-do-lists, and setting reminders.

The company counts enterprise companies such as McDonald’s, The Wall Street Journal, Verizon, Samsung, and IBM as its customers. In spite of economic uncertainty, Notion reached a $2 billion valuation in 2020, helped by record signups as more people were forced to work from home. Its value has since risen to over 5 times this value, an impressive reflection of its success.

The company has made a number of strategic acquisitions that, coupled with its enormous market value and enviable customer list, have Notion well-placed to continue dominating the market. That being said, the launch of Microsoft-built competitor Loop at the end of 2023 will put Notion's market dominance to the test.
