The Partner Education Content Developer is a key part of our overall partner-focused education strategy. He/she is laser focused on the development and creation of content designed to inform, educate, instruct, and/or entertain…with the goal of enabling partner education. The Content Developer leverages internal key stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs), as well as external vendors and strategic partners, to stay abreast of market and industry trends. He/she crafts, develops, and edits content such as copy, images, video and audio content, and scripts - every form of content created or written has a specific purpose. Part writer, part researcher, and part story teller, the Content Developer acts as a synthesizer of ideas on a larger team of SMEs and decision-makers.

Act as the bridge between sometimes complicated technical and sales concepts and partner audiences of different comprehension levels.
• Produce relevant content to reach specific goals: think beyond producing well written content by developing content that not only engages its audience but connects the dots between engagement and business impact, identifying clear calls to action that align with Pax8 KBOs and partner education objectives. Create content that is instructive, informatiove, accurate, engaging, and valuable
• Adapt tone and style when writing, to reach target audience and help achieve sales or adoption goals. Ensure content fits its designated purpose and end objective.
• Demonstrate critical thinking by analyzing, evaluating, improvising, and developing content that ultimately helps to generate more business for Pax8 and its partners.

• With the partner/user experience in mind, conceptualize and provide feedback on instructional graphics, and supporting material/media (e.g., audio, video, simulations, on-screen text, etc.).
• Continuing education: develop and maintain an awareness of the Pax8 portfolio, vendors and linecard. Contribute ideas and direction to partner education content development strategy that supports the growth of Pax8 and our partners/vendors.
