About the role
A chat-first product, Cleo is right on the cutting edge of AI design, creating brand new technologies to capitalise on the remarkable recent advancements in this space.
As a Content Designer, you’ll be responsible for solving design challenges through words, concepts, systems, and terminology. At Cleo, this often means (but is not limited to) creating new chat experiences, helping train large language models on our uniquely irreverent tone of voice, and working alongside an incredible team to build one of the most powerful AIs in the world, with the unique personality to match.
Currently, we are looking for a Content Designer to join our New Bets teams, though you may also work on other areas of the app. You'd be potentially working across a few of the squads, working on rapid experiments to identify what resonates and what does not. Their mission is to diversify Cleo's business model by discovering, launching, and scaling new products that drive revenue and LTV, building on a strong core product to enable more scalable long-term growth!
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborating with product designers, researchers, analysts, and developers to create products that improve how people manage their money.
- Designing content for new conversational flows—whether that’s jokes for modes like roast and hype or creating financial insights to help people budget better or spend more wisely.
- Gathering and creating data to help train our large language model on Cleo’s distinct tone of voice.
- Analysing user asks to improve Cleo’s understanding of their questions and needs.
- Coordinating with researchers and product designers to identify limitations of our current tooling and helping to improve them.
