• Lead the development of all user-facing documentation, including but not limited to user manuals, help guides, onboarding tutorials, and API documentation, ensuring clarity, usability, and accuracy.
• Create content that resonates with both technical and non-technical users, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand materials that enhance the customer experience for users such as platform administrators and super users, developers, and integration partners.

What will qualify you for the role :

• 8+ years of experience in product design, crafting exceptional user experiences and demonstrating significant industry impact, supported by a robust portfolio and case studies.

• A strong capacity to influence and build relationships across the organization. Your self-determination and drive allow you to secure buy-in from the most skeptical of stakeholders.

What would make you stand out :

• You are a leader who values collaboration and actively listens to incorporate feedback from diverse teams and customers alike, ensuring that every voice contributes to the collective success.
• You like to keep your hands-on skills sharp and have the ability to assist the team as an IC when the situation calls for it.
