Experience on growth teams is ideal - Strong storytelling instincts, with the ability to find and shape the narrative thread that carries a user through a long, high-consideration journey and defend those choices with more than intuition - A command of uncomplicated, compelling language that communicates clearly and directly without oversimplifying - The ability to articulate the single most important message in each moment and craft the content hierarchy and language to land it - Presentation skills and the willingness to write collaboratively and in real-time with peers and stakeholders - Genuine AI fluency and curiosity, including experience using AI tools to ideate product and screen concepts and structuring prompts to get consistently good writing out of them - A collaborative style that builds trust with PMs, designers, and researchers, with a clear point of view that doesn't come at the cost of being easy to work with - Comfort in Figma and with regulatory constraints, since in an industry like life insurance, clarity and compliance are the same job **#LI-Remote** **#LI-JA1** The US national base salary range for this full-time position is $147,000 - $259,000.
