This is a player/coach type of role; you will be regularly contributing to our documentation yourself, but also will be expected to think about the structure of how we roll out information, the process by which we collect information, and the technology we use to optimize documentation (single source, dynamic content, interactive API, etc). You'll be writing documentation about our SaaS marketing tool, as well as develop training on how to use it effectively.

  • Owning documentation structure, its evolution, and content roadmap
  • Take part in the docs community and become a thought leader.

  • You are solid with time management, over-communication, and delivering on time
