About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in AI technology, is looking for a skilled  Technical Writer  to join their team for a 3-month contract to hire engagement. This project involves defining the voice and structure of critical customer-facing content for their innovative product vision and architecting scalable documentation solutions. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Lead technical writing activities:  Lead technical writing activities for critical customer-facing product content, including hardware and software documentation such as data sheets, user guides, API documentation, release notes, and product briefs.
  • Drive content strategy:  Drive content strategy, governance, and quality standards across all documentation outputs, ensuring technical accuracy and alignment with the product vision.
  • Architect and manage pipelines:  Architect and manage authoring and publishing pipelines utilizing a DITA XML-based structured authoring environment and Git-based repositories.
  • Define information architecture:  Define and maintain scalable information architecture, metadata frameworks, and content models to optimize content reuse and simplify complexity.
  • Pioneer AI tool use:  Pioneer the use of AI tools within the documentation lifecycle to accelerate content generation and partner with IT to pilot and scale AI-enabled authoring workflows.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • 5+ years of experience in a similar role.
  • Deep expertise in DITA XML-based structured authoring and Git-based repositories. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
  • Experience with content strategy, information architecture, and documentation process evolution.
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
