Sr. Manager, Technical Writing

Location: United States (Remote)
Reports to: VP, Experience & Insights

About the Role

Alteryx is reimagining how users learn, explore, and succeed with our products, and documentation is at the heart of that experience. We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Technical Writing to lead a global team of writers who create and scale our product documentation across the entire Alteryx portfolio.

This is not a maintenance role. It’s a modernization mission. You’ll bring a data-driven, AI-assisted approach to transforming how Help content is created, delivered, and measured. You’ll ensure documentation is not only accurate, but contextual, intelligent, and actionable: meeting users where they are, from traditional docs to in-product guidance and AI-powered assistants.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and mentor a distributed global team of eight technical writers, cultivating excellence, curiosity, and accountability.

• Evolve documentation through AI-assisted authoring, structured content reuse, and tighter integration with in-product help experiences.

• Optimize content operations in Paligo, ensuring consistency and scalability.

• Develop and report on key content metrics, including engagement and impact, to continuously improve quality and inform product decisions.

• Partner closely with Product, UX, and Engineering to ensure documentation reflects real user journeys and drives product adoption.

• Ensure accessibility and inclusivity across all Help documentation formats across our eight supported languages.

• Collaborate with other content teams across Alteryx to deliver a unified digital experience across all company surfaces.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in technical writing or developer documentation for SaaS or enterprise software.

• 3+ years of experience leading and developing high-performing, distributed content teams.

• Proven success implementing or scaling a component-based CMS (preferably Paligo or equivalent) with localization workflows.

• Experience with AI-assisted authoring, in-product help systems, and structured content strategies (e.g., DITA, DocBook, XML, or Markdown frameworks).

• Strong command of analytics and performance measurement; comfortable defining KPIs, interpreting telemetry, and presenting results to executives.

• Experience managing and delivering content in large-scale multilingual documentation websites.

• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills across multicultural, technical, and non-technical audiences.

• Empathy for users and passion for simplifying complexity at scale.

Compensation

Alteryx is committed to fair, equitable, and transparent compensation. Final compensation will be determined by various factors such as your relevant work experience, education, certifications, skills, and geographic location. 

The base salary range for this role in California, Colorado, Washington, Texas, and Rhode Island is $183,100 to $198,670.

Final level will be determined based on experience and alignment with role scope.

In addition, you may be eligible for other compensation, such as a bonus. Employees may also be eligible for a wide range of other benefits, including medical, retirement, financial, wellness, time off, employee discounts, and others.
