Edinburgh

At Scott Logic, we have a reputation for world-class software delivery. We are trusted by some of the world’s leading organisations to build reliable, high-performance, business-critical solutions – and expert advice.

Scott Logic is looking for a Senior Content Designer to help shape and improve public services through clear, accessible and evidence-led content. You will work as part of multidisciplinary teams alongside user researchers, service designers, business analysts, product managers, delivery managers, engineers and architects to understand user needs, design content across digital and offline journeys, and help ensure services work for the people who use them.  

This is a senior delivery role. We are looking for someone who can confidently plan and lead content design activities, engage with stakeholders at all levels, and help teams turn complex policy, legal, regulatory and operational information into content that users can understand and act on. The role sits within Scott Logic’s Product and User-Centred Design capability, which supports complex public sector programmes across the UK.

The work will involve understanding complex service landscapes, mapping content and service journeys, testing content with users, and helping teams make practical decisions that are grounded in evidence rather than assumptions.

Planning, leading and delivering content design activities across public sector delivery teams.  

Creating, editing and improving clear, accessible content across digital and offline service journeys.  

Working closely with user research, service design, product, business analysis, delivery and technical colleagues to understand user needs and iterate content based on evidence.  

Turning complex policy, legal, regulatory and operational information into content users can understand and act on.  

Creating and iterating content patterns, prototypes, guidance, forms, notifications, error messages and service copy where needed.  

Mapping content and service journeys to identify gaps, risks, assumptions and dependencies.  

Engaging confidently with client stakeholders, including operational, policy and delivery colleagues.  

Championing accessibility, inclusion, plain English and evidence-led content decisions within complex public sector programmes.  

Supporting the continued growth of Scott Logic’s User-Centred Design capability by helping develop reusable approaches, patterns and delivery assets that strengthen future projects.

Strong experience as a Senior Content Designer in multidisciplinary digital or service delivery teams.  

Experience planning and leading content design independently, including shaping proportionate content approaches for complex services.  

Strong understanding of user-centred design, accessibility, plain English, content testing and evidence-led iteration.  

Strong content design skills, including content auditing, journey mapping, prototyping, pair writing and creating clear service content.  

Ability to turn complex policy, process and domain information into clear content, guidance and service copy.  

Ability to work closely with user research, service design, product, business analysis, delivery and technical colleagues.  

Ability to engage confidently with users and stakeholders, including operational, policy and delivery colleagues.
