In this role, you will provide online and in-app technical and instructional documentation that supports users across the SaaS product suite. You will be a part of team responsible for creating high-quality content that helps customers understand, adopt, and fully leverage their software.

You will partner closely with instructional design and technical writing teams as a hybrid collaborator.

  • Conduct needs assessments to determine instructional requirements and appropriate content strategies.

  • Create instructional materials for internal and external audiences, updating and refining content as new product releases roll out.

  • Produce and edit end-user eLearning videos and knowledge-base articles.

  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear, user-friendly documentation; revise content as software features evolve.


Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s degree in technical writing, English, communications, or related field; or 1+ years of instructional design or technical writing experience for software products.

  • Ability to quickly understand complex systems and write clear, concise documentation for both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a polished, professional presence.

  • Highly organized self-starter who can manage multiple projects and deliver high-quality work independently.

  • Able to follow—and contribute to—corporate style guides and editorial standards.
