You'll be responsible for creating, sharing, using and managing information and knowledge about Datacom products and services including manuals, help systems, on-line tutorials, installation guides and quick reference guides using software tools and system components. This role is instrumental in building a knowledge-sharing culture that enables our teams to work at their best.

Our offices are based in Sydney. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!

• Identifying special techniques to improve content templates, research and author style guides of knowledge management
• Defining and managing user roles and permissions to present target information to right audiences
• Developing and managing information architecture as well as taxonomy to enforce effective communication
• Actively identifying and supporting the automation of labour-intensive repetitive tasks using the Datacom knowledge management frameworks
• Implementing a principle-driven health and safety culture that cares for employees and ensures their safety in line with Datacom policy

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders' changing requirements and this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.

What you'll bring

Required experience:

• 5+ years' experience in ITSM Knowledge Management within enterprise, MSP, SIAM or multi-provider environments.

• Experience working across Service Desk, resolver groups, service providers and customer stakeholders to drive knowledge adoption and accountability.
• Experience developing knowledge governance frameworks, standards, policies and authoring practices.
• Demonstrated success improving self-service, shift-left support and knowledge reuse outcomes.
• Experience defining operational KPIs, quality measures and management reporting to support continual improvement.
