The Seller Experience team is the glue of our product ecosystem. We are the team that thinks outside of individual products and focuses on the entire experience a seller has in evaluating, signing up for, and using Square. The Seller Experience team is responsible for many of the shared surface areas and platforms that Square's products feed into, such as our public website (square.com), sign-up and onboarding flows, dashboard, setup guides, support channels, and chatbots. We build and pave the sellers' path to getting value from our vast ecosystem of products and services. Our mission is to unify, personalize, and support seller experiences across Square.

We are looking for a Senior Conversation Designer to join the Seller Experience team. Working across multiple touch points and surfaces, you’ll:

1. create a cohesive, conversational, and interactive chat experience for sellers across Square’s ecosystem 
2. provide UX writing deliverables across other Seller Experience teams. 

You’ll also define a scalable conversation design workflow for internal use. And, as Square adopts and implements emerging artificial intelligent technologies, you’ll play a key role in helping us define our vision and accelerate our transition. You’ll also be on point to pitch in with UX writing deliverables across other Seller Experience teams. 

Conversation design deliverables and expectations:

• Define and drive the overall conversational UX of our chatbots, in collaboration with subject matter experts, content writers, product managers, and other partners across Square
• Design conversational touch points such as greetings, transitions, proactive notifications, and hand-offs—balancing multiple constraints, goals, and stakeholders to create a smooth seller experience
• Review existing conversational UX and identify opportunities for improvement with clear rationale, including both quick wins as well as long term goals
• Plan for, strategize, and evangelize ways to implement emerging technologies such as GPT-3 and other ML-driven dialogue models
• Act as lead editor for all chatbot content, ensuring that a cohesive, conversational, interactive experience emerges from our many flows
• Mentor and coach chatbot writers, helping them upskill in conversation design principles to improve content drafts, structure content platforms, and unify voice and tone
• Collaborate within product teams as well as go-to-market teams—assess and prioritize opportunities, constraints, and features—advocating for the end user while balancing priorities and business goals

• Work closely with data scientists and leverage quantitative and qualitative data as well as user feedback to drive and influence conversation design
• Model how to use human-centered design approaches to frame problems, uncover patterns, discover opportunities, and visualize possibilities
• Establish an ongoing process for managing and growing a sophisticated and flexible conversation design practice that adjusts to varying cycles and user demands

Content design deliverables and expectations:

• Be hands on—designing, writing, and editing content across several teams within Seller Experience. This includes the smallest microcopy to the most visible content and everything in between.
• Work embedded in design teams as a driver of content-informed design. Collaborate in Figma and have an active voice in design critiques. Use your content design knowledge to tease out design flaws and derive elegant solutions.
• Drive best practices for content design in collaboration with our design systems team as well as other content designers across the company
• Build strong relationships with cross-functional team members and effectively speak to processes and value of the writing discipline
• Help the product design teams become more efficient by developing processes and workflows for collaboration
• Apply metrics, data, design research, user testing, customer support insights, and more to inform content and language decisions
• Manage and prioritize your workload of multiple projects with different collaborators

• 5-7+ years of experience as a conversation designer, chatbot writer, UX designer, or content designer in highly collaborative, cross-functional environments

• Strong writing and language skills, as an added bonus, but not required - an understanding of language models, taxonomies, linguistic principles, and AI/ML-driven conversations
• Experience with and/or deep curiosity for linguistics and NLP, customer intent recognition, human-centered design, interaction design, information architecture, user research, and/or content design
• Ability to design conversational dialogue that scales across locales and languages

• Training, either formal or on-the-job, in design, computer science, information sciences, psychology, human factors, human-computer interaction, or a related field
• Strong communication and presentation skills as well as the ability to organize and implement requirements from multiple cross-functional teams
