• Create clear, accessible documentation such as SOPs, user guides, templates, and standard work.

• Maintain process improvement documentation, template resources, and structured libraries within SharePoint.

Ideal skills and abilities:

• Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to lead conversations across diverse groups.
• Ability to analyze workflows, identify gaps, and recommend improvements.
• Clarity in writing and documentation; comfortable producing user-friendly guides and templates.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Comfortable working in environments undergoing modernization and process transformation.

This position is based in Barre, VT and some in person work will be required.
