We believe in better. And we make it happen.

Better content. Better products. And better careers.

Working in Tech, Product or Data at Sky is about building the next and the new. From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate.

We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love.

And we do it all right here at Sky.

What you'll do

• From the discovery phase through to delivery, you’ll be responsible for owning the UX copy on the global TV interface projects you’ll work on

• Working closely with the Design, Product and Development teams, you’ll demonstrate an ability to come up with innovative ideas, solve problems creatively and shape these into clear, inclusive and meaningful strategic copy solutions that centre around customer needs

• You’ll get involved and drive customer research so you can make insight-driven copy decisions

• With help from our Design Systems and Design Office teams, you’ll maintain an efficient copy delivery process and be able to provide regular updates to stakeholders whilst delivering to schedule
