Information Content Creator
Role
We are looking for a content creator to facilitate the production of high-quality documentation that contributes to the overall success of our products and company.
The candidate must create factual information about various products and services, and how they function. The successful candidate will need to understand the product or application, and then design and create (and/or coordinate with the likes of ChatGPT) documentation to explain its installation and use, with an inclination towards extolling the value of features and benefits.
The output will explain how things are used in a way that is easy to understand not only internally, but by our distributors and customers. The information will need to be presented in many different forms; including user guides, reference and instruction manuals, training guides, instructional videos or online help to be incorporated into software solutions. The candidate will also be required to provide information in various other forms; potentially including software demos, interactive tools, wikis, blogs, portals, podcasts, FAQ responses, Chat BOT inputs, videos, illustrations and graphics. All with a consistent company feel.
