Job description
**WHAT YOU WILL DO**
* Write and structure end\-to\-end interface copy for government digital services across web and mobile, in Arabic and English.
* Translate research, service blueprints, and stakeholder requirements into content models, flows, and production\-ready UI copy.
* Build and maintain content patterns in the Dubai Design System (labels, error states, empty states, confirmations, notifications) and contribute new patterns back to it rather than writing one\-offs.
* Partner with designers in Figma to write in context, checking copy against real layouts, character limits, and component states rather than in a document.
* Work directly with UI/UX designers and front\-end engineers through hand\-off, implementation, and QA review of the built product.
* Write to WCAG 2\.2 AA from the start, covering plain\-language clarity, alt text, error messaging, and screen reader announcements.
* Present and defend content decisions to stakeholders across government entities, including legal, policy, and service owners.
**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
**UX writing and content strategy (essential)**
* Arabic and English bilingual writing experience, including RTL content and Arabic UI conventions.
* Expert\-level: microcopy, content models, voice and tone systems, and writing for state, error, and edge cases.
* Comfortable writing for and maintaining a shared content library rather than only writing one\-off strings.
* Clean, well\-structured content documentation and copy decks that another writer or designer can pick up without a walkthrough.
* Arabic and English bilingual writing experience, including RTL content and Arabic UI conventions.
**Figma and design fluency (essential)**
* Solid working knowledge of Figma: auto layout, component properties, variants, and how content sits inside constraints.
* Understands component\-based design thinking (states, composition, character limits) and can read a component to see why copy needs to change.
* Knows the cost of a content decision before proposing it, and can talk to designers and engineers in their terms.
**Writing craft**
* A portfolio showing clarity, structure, and restraint, not just polished sentences.
* Can explain why a piece of copy works, not only that it reads well.
* Attention to word\-level craft, with judgement about when that level of detail matters.
**Ways of working**
* Handles ambiguity and shifting requirements without stalling.
* Communicates clearly in writing and in presentations.
* Takes feedback from stakeholders who are not writers and turns it into the underlying problem.
**Nice to have**
* Public sector or large\-scale enterprise product experience.
* Accessibility work beyond compliance checklists, such as writing for assistive technology testing.
* Familiarity with content tooling, terminology databases, or version\-controlled hand\-off workflows.
