JOIN OUR TEAM

We're looking for talented and highly motivated Documentation Manager to join our team to help us organize, enhance, and maintain NextCapital’s documentation. This includes delivery and maintenance of product-related technical documentation, internal process documentation, and technical design documentation.

The ideal candidate is impeccable at managing communication and expectations across many stakeholders, has outstanding writing skills, has a strong technical understanding of software, and has a proven track record of successful documentation management.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Manage our recent initiative to transfer our internal and external content from its current structure in Google Drive to an organized and easy to navigate wiki using Confluence.
  • Work with our product managers, designers, and developers to maintain our external feature documentation during various stages of development.
  • Incorporate our Platform Use Cases into a Platform Manual that can be easily consumed by external parties during the sales and implementation process, and internal parties for training and support purposes.
  • Monitor edits to documentation to ensure it follows the NextCapital documentation principles.
  • Facilitate our external release notes process, including contributing to content.
  • Mentor other NextCapital employees on how to create clear and concise documentation, including developing training materials and style guides for this purpose.
  • Become a subject matter expert on the existing NextCapital software platform and upcoming functionality.
  • Exercise independent judgment and discretion in matters of significance with broad scope and high complexity
