• Independently gather information from subject matter experts across engineering and products to ensure technical accuracy and completeness.

• Own documentation projects end-to-end - scope, schedule, and delivery - and provide regular status updates to senior management.

• Define, maintain, and evolve department guidelines and editorial standards to ensure consistency and quality across all documentation.

• Mentor writers, review their work, and continuously improve documentation processes, tooling, and workflows.

• Undertake other duties as assigned to support the documentation function and broader organization.

• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accurate documentation.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to editorial quality.
