About Pinterest:  

Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.

We’re on the lookout for a contract UX writer to join the small but mighty (smighty?) Pinterest product writing team. Come help us tell our story, build features and make some of our experiences sing. While you’re at it, make one big POW! of an impact at a company that’s here to help you find inspiration and create a life you love.If you’ve got a heart for Pinners, creators and businesses, a pioneering spirit for testing and learning and a hunger to dig into UX and interaction design, you could be just the person for the job.

What you’ll do:

Write the words and craft the experiences that go into the Pinterest products we build to grow our business.Lots and lots of experimentation and jumping into nitty gritty details. 
Maintain Pinterest’s voice and tone in our creator tools, product and feature onboarding, emails, notifications… then roll up your sleeves to think about how they fit in our overall Pinterest voice, tone and standards. 
Tune in to research (industry, quantitative, qualitative) to learn about what Pinners, creators and businesses truly need. Bring their human voices into product experiences. 

What we’re looking for:

4+ years steeped in the wordly arts (UI/UX writing, content strategy or information architecture or time working in marketing, communications or technical writing) to make the complex feel clear. 
Puzzle-loving brains with a flair for negotiating tight constraints and working across a lot systems and the various teams who own them.
Ability to revel in the microcopy weeds AND consider the big picture of branding and product positioning and systems strategy.
Visual thinkers who can or want to mindmeld with designers and visually communicate their recommendations by jumping headfirst into Figma and other tools and practiced persuaders who back up their recommendations with sound reasoning and represent their thinking with conviction.
Experience or itching desire to match wits with engineers, product managers, designers and other deeply smart, opinionated people. And, at times, leading without authority because it needs to get done.
