What You'll Do
- Write, edit, and transcreate copy in Arabic and English for websites, portals, mobile apps, and other digital platforms, including UX/microcopy, landing pages, service descriptions, and navigation labels
- Produce digital communications such as email campaigns, newsletters, announcements, social media content, push notifications, and campaign messaging
- Ensure that Arabic content is written natively to read naturally and culturally relevant while retaining the intent and impact of the English version
- Develop and apply tone-of-voice guidelines, bilingual style guides, and terminology glossaries to ensure consistent messaging across all channels
- Collaborate with UX/UI designers to shape content within user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes, including considerations for right-to-left (RTL) layout
- Transform client briefs, brand strategy, and research insights into content structures and messaging frameworks
- Participate in client workshops and review cycles, clearly presenting content rationale and incorporating feedback from senior stakeholders
- Maintain content quality from end to end by proofreading and reviewing your own work and the team’s for accuracy, consistency, and adherence to standards
- Manage multiple workstreams and deadlines simultaneously in a structured, document-driven delivery environment
