* Manage the style, layout, and design of documents according to our house style guide.

* Plan, schedule, and track documentation work to meet product release dates and deliverables.

Requirements:

* 4 to 6+ years of technical writing experience, preferably in a technical domain, creating documentation and related resources for both technical and non-technical audiences.

* Excellent English written and verbal communication.

* Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to operate in a fast-paced environment with evolving project requirements and priorities.

* Ability to grasp complex technical concepts and translate them into comprehensive, accurate, accessible, and easy-to-understand documentation.

* Proven ability to work independently, and collaboratively, and lead and manage multiple projects/tasks in a cross-disciplinary team.

* Adaptability and ability to adjust to an evolving role and steady change within our fast-growing company.

* Familiarity with a topic-based, learning objective-oriented approach to creating documentation.

* Familiarity with the AdTech industry and AdTech concepts.

Required technical knowledge and skills

* Experience working with Agile/Scrum software development teams.

* Familiarity with the software development lifecycle.

* Working knowledge of MS Office, Confluence, Jira, Slack, Google Docs, graphics editors, and Github.

* Knowledge of HTML, Markdown, Javascript, JSON, SQL, and APIs.

* Experience working with content management systems including Confluence and Document360.

* Experience working within a developing information architecture and familiarity with knowledge management concepts.

Nice to have skills

* Ability to build and maintain content that goes beyond traditional documentation, such as online videos, demos, guided tours, and other educational techniques.

* Familiarity with data management, reporting, and business intelligence concepts.

* Experience working with product adoption platforms, including Pendo.
