Content Developer, D2AS Job at Amazon in Cupertino ID - 13260

Description

Are you a Content Developer or Technical Writer with a passion for customers? Do you have the drive to deliver multiple projects on time, every time, with deliverables that exceed audience expectations? Do you thrive in a fast-moving culture where customer obsession and the ability to think on your feet are highly valued?

Amazon revolutionized customer service, now we are changing what customers expect from technical support. We're responsible for the Customer Service operations and solutions for all Amazon Devices and Digital properties, from Kindle, Fire TV and Echo, to Prime Video and Amazon Music. In this role you will scope, structure and develop internal and public-facing content describing key features and functionality of multiple Amazon service offerings. Your content will be viewed and referenced by millions of customers, accessible across a variety of platforms, and localized into multiple languages.

To excel in this position, you will be comfortable in a fast-paced, high-energy environment. You must be used to dealing with tight deadlines and internal stakeholders and have a proactive approach to problem solving. You will have experience digging into data to discover pain points and developing content strategy that solves those problems. And, most importantly, you have deep expertise in help content, including writing, production, and strategy, with an affinity for gaining exposure to new technologies and revolutionary consumer electronic devices.

Key job responsibilities

  • Create concise and direct instructions for customers and customer support associates to solve problems

  • Build and leverage strong relationships with multiple stakeholders to deliver complex, global projects

  • Drive content projects for their entire lifecycle from planning through post-launch measurement

  • Execute strategies to improve content quality, maintainability, and usability

  • Identify, promote, and implement strategies to improve content development workflow and team efficiency

  • Continuously interpret metrics to assess content and improve our customer experience

A day in the life

In any given day, you'll be meeting with business stakeholders across Amazon to learn about new features, products, and services. At the same time for other projects, you might also be reviewing help page and customer contact metrics to develop content plans and then using your excellent authoring skills to create content drafts for stakeholder review. Once everyone is happy, you'll "code" the content in our content management system (CMS), so that it can extend to global customers on multiple platforms. When you get the "green light" to publish, you'll launch that content globally, ensure there were no errors, and then set up plans to measure your content performance.

If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
