Positions Description: Looking for someone who can write at two levels:

Responsibilities:

• For the design documentation, we would want someone that has a background working in an IT environment that could take a verbal description, drafts, charts, flows and transform that into concise and accurate technical design documents. Example, currently much of the “design” documentation that IT has is within the code. What we’d like to do is have a meeting where developers could brain-dump or verbally describe how the system is designed, provide charts, diagrams, etc and have the writer be able to translate that into a technical document. It is a plus if the writer is familiar with UML, DFD, Flow Chart functional decomposition, entity relation, pseudo code, things of that nature.
• Person should probably have 3-5 years of experience of technical writing experience.
• For the end user documentation, this would be to take the technical design documents and work with end users to create accurate manuals, procedures, more and functional based documents (e.g. documents that could be used for training).
