This role sits at the intersection of technical writing, instructional design, and hands-on facilitation — ideal for someone who enjoys both crafting polished documentation and standing in front of a room (or a webcam) to teach.

•      Collaborate with subject matter experts (engineers, product managers, support teams) to gather accurate technical information

•      Develop training materials such as slide decks, quick-reference guides, videos, and e-learning modules

•      Maintain a consistent voice, style, and formatting standard across all documentation

•      Manage documentation version control and ensure content stays current with product updates

•      Gather feedback from learners and readers to continuously improve materials

•      Assess training effectiveness through quizzes, surveys, or hands-on evaluations

•      Support onboarding programs for new hires or new customers

Requirements

•      3+ years of experience in technical writing, documentation, instructional design, or corporate training

•      Strong writing skills with the ability to simplify complex technical information for varied audiences

•      Experience delivering training sessions (virtual and/or in-person)

•      Familiarity with e-learning/authoring tools (e.g., Articulate 360, Camtasia, or similar)

•      Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills

•      Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

•      Bachelor's degree in Technical Communication, English, Instructional Design, Education, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

•      Experience in a SaaS, software, or technical product environment

•      Basic understanding of APIs, software workflows, or technical systems

•      Experience with LMS platforms (e.g., Workday Learning, Docebo, TalentLMS)

•      Familiarity with UX writing principles or content design
