Senior Content Designer
About The Position
At Justworks, we’re on a mission to support and empower small and medium-sized businesses by providing a simple and friendly platform, expert support, and access to vital benefits. We believe that great design is at the heart of this mission and we’re looking for a curious, empathetic, and passionate Senior Content Designer with a focus on knowledge systems, structured content, and operational workflows to join our Experience Design Team. This is an exciting opportunity to craft content that is not only engaging and effective but also integral to the overall user experience. You have a passion for knowledge: how it's structured, organized, and maintained. You're curious about how people find information, where content breaks down, and how thoughtful design can make knowledge easier to create, maintain, and use. You also enjoy solving complex operational problems through content. Whether you're improving documentation, designing a reusable content model, refining metadata, or simplifying an authoring workflow, you naturally think beyond individual documents to the larger systems they're part of. You're comfortable working with stakeholders across the business to understand how knowledge supports their work. You ask thoughtful questions, navigate ambiguity well, and balance user needs with operational realities. While you enjoy designing systems, you're equally happy rolling up your sleeves to improve the details that make those systems successful.
