• Excellent writing, structuring, and editing skills — you make the complex simple.
• Ability to work independently, manage projects, and meet deadlines without hand-holding.
• Familiarity with tools like Confluence, GitHub, Markdown, and modern authoring platforms.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn — new tools, new tech, new ways of working.
• Strong collaborator who can work across functions, including L&D, engineering, and AI teams.

Preferred:
