What the job involves
- The Content Design team is part of Miro's Design org and plays a crucial role in shaping the user experience for some of our most high-priority initiatives
- Currently a small but impactful team of two based in Amsterdam and Berlin, the team works in a centralised model embedded within high-priority cross-functional teams
- As manager of this team, you'll oversee content design needs across Miro, strategically identifying and resourcing the most critical and highest leverage areas to maximise impact
- You’ll lead this dynamic team in close collaboration with design and research leadership and help scale our content design strategy to align with company goals
- This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact by growing and guiding a team, cultivating successful collaboration, and driving excellence in content design craft across Miro
- The Content Design Manager will lead and grow a team of content designers, shaping product narratives and delivering clear, engaging, and user-centric content across the Miro experience
- This role requires a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of content design frameworks and principles, who can establish standards and processes that elevate content quality and consistency
- Initially, as the team is still growing, the role will require hands-on involvement with a select number of high-leverage projects, contributing directly to high-priority initiatives while shaping best practices
- Grow and guide a team of content designers, cultivating a collaborative environment that encourages innovation, promotes continuous learning, and drives the delivery of high quality work
- Be hands-on with a few high-leverage initiatives initially, to balance strategic improvements of content design at Miro with practical application of best practices
- Develop and implement a unified content strategy and set of design principles that prioritise clarity and consistency, aligning with Miro’s user needs and strategic business goals across all digital platforms
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teams to seamlessly weave content design into the product development journey
- Champion and advocate for the importance of content design within Miro, effectively communicating its value to stakeholders and aligning content initiatives with high leverage projects and broader company vision
Our take
Millions of employees worldwide have moved to remote working, but existing tools are holding back the potential for collaboration. Tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams already provide remote communication platforms to millions of users, but they generally compromise on features required to emulate the team collaboration experience.
Miro has created a platform that provides enterprise tools such as collaborative whiteboards and mind-map software into an accessible and integrated service. As opposed to providing an 'all-in-one' add on, Miro allows businesses to customize and integrate the tools and resources within their individual platform to cater to the team's specific requirements.
Miro’s initial strategy of offering free and discounted subscriptions and then moving to paid models has paid off. The platform currently has over 35 million users and is trusted by enterprises such as VMware, Zendesk and Frog. As part of its ongoing battle with Zoom, Miro acquired video-chat startup Around in 2022, to remain competitive in the market.
