Benefits Experience & Technology (BXT) is on a mission to revolutionize the employee benefits experience. We’re seeking a customer-obsessed Benefits Technical Writer to join us in building unparalleled solutions that support the benefits enrollment process.

BXT designs, deploys, and manages benefits on behalf of 1.5+ million Amazonians and their families worldwide. We’re investing in solutions that make it easier than ever for employees to navigate their benefits, get the support they need, and lead healthier lives. The Benefits EnEx (Enrollment Experience) team manages all the technology related to enrolling and managing your benefit selections.

In this role, you play a pivotal part in shaping the user enrollment experience through the written content that guides employees as they discover and enroll in their benefits. Working alongside product, UX, and software developers, you will craft intuitive, user-focused content that helps employees navigate the product, understand their available options, take necessary actions, and resolve issues.

The ideal candidate has a passion for words, an unwavering attention to detail, and a deep commitment to enhancing the user journey. You understand how content unfolds as a customer moves through an experience and connects to their needs at every step. You tirelessly work to understand how customers think and speak to identify language that is both useful and natural.

You excel at distilling complex information into clear, concise copy. As a strategic thinker, you’re able to balance the needs of the business with the needs of the end-user, always advocating for solutions that put the customer first.
