Description
- As a UX Writer / Content Designer at Motorola Solutions, you’ll write the words people rely on when seconds matter - the call handler taking a 911/999 call, the police officer checking a plate, or the investigator piecing together a timeline. In our work, clear language isn’t a polish layer; it directly impacts how effectively the product performs
- You will work alongside UX Designers, Accessibility Specialists, the Design Systems team, and software partners to make language consistent, clear, and intuitive across our applications and services:
- Onboarding flows and navigation
- System states, notifications, and microcopy
- High-stress error messages read at 3 a.m. mid-incident
- Expect to be in Figma early, shaping product decisions rather than labeling them after they are made
- Because our products are specialized, you’ll spend real time learning the UK public safety domain - how our users actually communicate, which terms are critical, and where plain language serves them better than sector jargon
- You don’t need to arrive as an expert, but you do need the curiosity to become one
- Craft User Experience Copy: Write and refine clear UI text, onboarding flows, navigation, error messages, and microcopy across complex digital products
- Define Tone & Standards: Own our product tone of voice and content design guidelines, evolving them as our software suite expands
- Early-Stage Partnership: Partner with designers, researchers, and product managers from discovery through launch, entering the process early enough to influence design decisions
- Evidence-Based Iteration: Test and refine content using qualitative user research, field feedback, and usability testing
- Domain Mastery: Build deep fluency in public safety terminology, making deliberate choices about where domain-specific language belongs
- Design System Integration: Contribute language patterns, component copy guidelines, and content standards to our design system

- Proven Track Record: 5+ years of experience designing product copy/content for complex web and mobile digital products
- Strategic Trade-offs: The judgment to balance user needs, brand voice, and business constraints - and the ability to articulate your choices to stakeholders
- Accessibility & Inclusion: A track record of collaborating with accessibility specialists (WCAG standards) to ensure language is clear and accessible for everyone
- Design Integration: Strong grounding in user-centred design (UCD) principles and hands-on experience working directly in Figma (or similar tools)
