Job Description:

You’ll own product documentation across platforms and products, partnering with Product, Engineering, UI/UX, Support, and the new E‑Learning Manager. You’ll deliver clear, branded, release‑aligned content that supports internal enablement and customer success, while laying the groundwork to modernize and digitize documentation in a searchable portal.

Expectations for Your Role

BASE (first 6–12 months)

• Inventory, standardize, and update priority product/user guides and technical docs.
• Establish Information Architecture (IA), style/terminology standards, and a repeatable review process.
• Deliver release‑aligned updates (quarterly+), including client‑facing release documentation.
• Partner with the E‑Learning Manager to storyboard and script WBT modules and tutorial videos.

GROWTH (year 1+)

• Close the documentation backlog and expand coverage (workflows, quick references, troubleshooting, API docs).
• Introduce lightweight, contextual in‑app help patterns and a knowledge base structure.
• Drive consistency across products (terminology, visuals, diagrams) and reduce support tickets via better findability.

FUTURE (long‑term)

• Lead the planning and migration path to a modern documentation portal (SSO, versioning, analytics, AI‑assisted search) in partnership with Product, Support, and Engineering.
• Enable certification and WBT integration by aligning documentation and training assets.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Write, edit, and maintain end‑user documentation, step‑by‑step guides, and client‑specific quick references.

• Create and maintain platform/product technical docs: architecture overviews, data dictionaries, schema references, installation/configuration, and API integration guides.
• Produce diagrams and workflow illustrations; ensure accessibility and brand compliance.
• Draft and maintain troubleshooting guides, error references, and FAQs.
• Collaborate with Product Managers/PMMs and SMEs to capture accurate workflows and release changes.
• Co‑develop scripts, storyboards, and captions/transcripts for tutorial videos and WBT.
• Manage document IA, versioning, and release notes workflow; enforce style and terminology consistency.
• Partner with Support/Delivery to align documentation with ticket trends and onboarding needs.
• Prepare content and metadata for future documentation portal migration; contribute to evaluation of tooling.

Qualifications

• 4–7+ years of technical writing for software/SaaS; portfolio showcasing end‑user and technical deliverables.
• Ability to translate complex healthcare/interop concepts into plain, structured guidance.
• Expert writing, editing, and information architecture skills; strong attention to detail.
• Proven cross‑functional collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Customer‑facing teams.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365; working knowledge of diagramming tools.
• Familiarity with issue tracking and content workflows (e.g., JIRA/Confluence or similar).
• Experience with WBT authoring collaboration (e.g., scripting for Articulate 360/Captivate).
• Nice to have: Docs‑as‑code and/or help authoring tools (e.g., MadCap Flare, ReadMe, static site generators); SCORM/xAPI awareness; healthcare IT domain exposure.

Success Measures

• Backlog burn‑down and release‑aligned updates delivered on time.
• Reduction in repeat “how do I…?” tickets; improved internal training satisfaction.
• Consistent terminology and IA across products; increased documentation adoption/engagement.
• Approved plan for documentation portal modernization.
