How you'll make an impact
Our product content designers use words to design intuitive product experiences. By combining content design, UX writing, and problem-solving skills, they transform complex processes and information into simple, user-focused flows and interactions. Our product content designers work closely with product designers, focusing on the experience for customers who are logged in to Xero's online software (rather than website or marketing content).
