What we’re looking for in you

You have a demonstrated track record of content and linguistic background, ideally in digital products. Maybe you’ve been called a copywriter, or a content designer, or a content strategist in a previous role. Maybe you’re a UX researcher or a designer who has become more focussed on content. You’re someone who can communicate and present the decisions and constraints within a project. Who has worked with other disciplines to ship quality products beyond handing off copy documents.

You’ve worked on complex projects before. You have a strong opinion on how copy and communication can be applied to product development. You are a fast, iterative thinker who can partner with our UX Researchers to understand FanDuel users and speak to their needs.

You’ve been immersed in US culture and been around sports culture. You don’t need a huge passion for sports, but you do need a passion for understanding our sport-loving users so you can create great experiences for them.

You’re proficient in all areas of your discipline. You have managed people before and ideally been involved in hiring other UX writers.

What to include in your application

A portfolio is a must. A portfolio with case studies is better. Tell us about the work as well as showing it.

We’re serious about career development at FanDuel. Your manager will help you set development goals and use our discipline-specific career framework to grow over time.
