UI/UX Copywriter (Arabic Speaker)

About the role

Write and structure end‑to‑end interface copy for government digital services across web and mobile, in Arabic and English. Collaborate closely with designers and front‑end engineers to deliver accessible, production‑ready UI copy that meets WCAG 2.2 AA standards.

Key responsibilities

• 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.
• Partner with designers in Figma, writing copy directly in context and respecting character limits and component states.
• Work with UI/UX designers and front‑end engineers through hand‑off, implementation and QA review.
• 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.

Required profile

• Arabic and English bilingual writing experience, including RTL content and Arabic UI conventions.
• Expert‑level knowledge of microcopy, content models, voice and tone systems, and writing for state, error and edge cases.
• Comfortable creating and maintaining a shared content library rather than one‑off strings.
• Strong documentation skills; copy decks that other writers or designers can pick up without walkthroughs.
• Portfolio demonstrating clarity, structure and restraint, with the ability to explain why copy works.
• Ability to handle ambiguity, communicate clearly and incorporate feedback from non‑writers.

Required skills

• Figma (auto layout, component properties, variants, constraints).
• Component‑based design thinking and content modeling.
• Content strategy, voice‑and‑tone systems and microcopy creation.
• WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines.
