Writer/Content Strategist

Are you good with words? Mule Design is seeking a very crafty writer who is also an admirable talker and a strategic thinker. And above all, a problem solver.

Your writing must be persuasive, evocative, and tight. You must be capable of envisioning the implications of different editorial strategies and conveying these to clients. You need a strong point of view and an unflappable demeanor. Your specific background matters less than your ability to work quickly and confidently, and adapt that work to a variety of contexts.

You should have a demonstrated aptitude for giving feedback thoughtfully and receiving it gracefully.

You will enjoy a variety of duties and activities:

• Working with clients to develop editorial strategies
• Translating information architecture specifications to content plans
• Participating in project research and requirements gathering
• Participating in or leading workshops
• Contributing to the overall design strategy and approach for any given project
• Creating and documenting workflow recommendations
• Providing recommendations to clients and team members in writing and in conversation
• Writing application interface language
• Writing copy for editorial and marketing websites
• Writing blog posts for our website
• Creating and maintaining the editorial calendar for our blog
• Reviewing and editing written documents as necessary

You will never be bored. You will go home at 6pm every day. Apply with an e-mail including:

• Why you are interested in this position and why we should be interested in you
• A summary of your professional and educational history
• Your perspective on how language considerations matter to interactive design

No attachments please. This is a permanent position beginning as soon as we find the right person.This position is on-site in San Francisco.
