What are the responsibilities and job description for the Content Editor & Documentation Specialist position at Strategic Employment?
An established software company is seeking a Content Editor & Documentation Specialist to own editorial quality across the organization.
This individual will be the primary editor and proofreader for customer-facing content, splitting time evenly between polishing what others write and producing original technical documentation. This is a newly created, dedicated content seat - not an add-on to a broader marketing role.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Edit and maintain website content, product documentation, newsletters, and customer communications
- Write original technical and product documentation, including release notes and help content
- Coordinate with marketing and engineering to preserve technical accuracy
- Maintain editorial standards for grammar, style, and branding across all published materials
QUALIFICATIONS
- 3-5 years of dedicated editing, writing, or technical documentation experience
- Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills
- Strong independent research and systematic problem-solving ability
- Comfort splitting time between editing (about half) and original writing (about half)
- Familiarity with Azure DevOps, CMS platforms, or HR/compensation subject matter is a plus
WHY CONSIDER THIS OPPORTUNITY
- Own editorial quality at an established, 35 year old company with no existing playbook
- Build the content standards from scratch as the second hire in a growing function
- Work cross-functionally with marketing and engineering, not in a single-team silo
