• Guarantee that all manuals meet CE, EN 82079-1, WEEE, RoHS and other EU directives for user safety and labeling
• Own the documentation QA process, including content verification, usability testing, translation reviews, and version control
• Monitor and report on documentation KPIs (delivery timeliness, support ticket rate, translation quality, reuse rate)

What we are looking for:

• 2-3+ years in technical writing for hardware or consumer goods
• Strong portfolio of consumer-facing manuals in multiple languages
• Familiarity with CE documentation requirements and international safety standards
• Excellent command of English (written and spoken); German and additional EU languages are a strong plus
• Proficient in layout/DTP tools incl. at least one of these tools: Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker or Illustrator
• Experience working with translators, content reuse frameworks, and multilingual publishing workflows
• Clear, structured writing style with a passion for clarity, user focus, and technical precision

What we offer:

• 100% remote work possible if you live in a German city other than Berlin
• If you live in Berlin, we offer a flexible and hybrid working model with up to 2 days of home office per week
• Modern office in the heart of Berlin (Friedrichshain) with a view of the Spree

• Daily fresh fruits and vegetables as well as drinks and various health offers, e.g. physiotherapy and sport events
• Support by a team of highly skilled and dedicated colleagues who celebrate successes together at numerous company events
