Montreal, Quebec, Canada Ubisoft Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year
Job Description

As a UX Writer at Ubi MTL, you'll come up with the words that help players understand what things are and what they need to do in a live game.

You'll write user interface copy to intuitively describe and explain, in and around gameplay: instructions, menus, buttons, and more.

As an online gamer yourself, you know that when it comes to communicating, time is limited. Player-facing information needs to be conveyed clearly and consistently – at precisely the right place at exactly the right time.

With every new release, you'll deliver copy that leaves no room for doubt. No confusion. No frustration. Just straightforward, uncomplicated interactions – and a player journey that's as smooth as it gets.

What you'll do

  • Partner with your UX team lead and UX director to understand the game's overall vision + develop its communication strategy.
  • Collaborate with the user research team to grasp player needs, motivations, behaviours, etc.
  • Work closely with designers to discuss design intentions to transform them into easy-to-understand features and concepts.
  • Write clear, consistent, concise UI copy (item descriptions, tutorials, menus, settings, notifications, etc.).
  • Create and maintain guidelines and style guides (voice, tone, vocabulary, etc.).
  • Balance design, narrative and visual aspects with technical constraints (especially space restrictions).
  • Brainstorm and research content ideas + identify opportunities to improve the player experience through copy.
  • Support co-development requests from our UX teams in other studios.
  • Collaborate with the localization team, who will adapt text into different languages.
  • Follow up on content post-launch and rework it based on feedback.
Qualifications

What you bring

  • Experience in copywriting, technical writing, or content strategy (or related experience) in product developement
  • An understanding of information architecture and user research methodologies
  • A highly collaborative spirit
  • A knack for finding user-friendly ways to communicate
  • Empathy: you're able to look at content design from your audience's point of view and adapt accordingly
  • A creative approach to problem-solving: you can come up with innovative ideas to resolve a variety of challenges
  • A healthy regard for data: you're comfortable proactively gathering it to inform your content choices·
  • Ability to think holistically while building iteratively: you're a big picture thinker with an eye for detail

What to send our way

  • Your CV highlighting your experience and skills
  • A couple of samples of your best work (attach files or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio)
