We need someone who can translate technical information into clear, engaging, and accessible content, primarily for partners, but with the flexibility to support other audiences when needed.

• Develop engaging training and certification content, including manuals, online help, tutorials, and other instructional materials for partner audiences.

• Ensure all partner certification documentation is accurate, clear, and consistent.

• Incorporate feedback from partners and internal stakeholders to continuously improve content quality and effectiveness.

• Maintain documentation standards and version control for all certification materials.

• Assist in developing multimedia training components for partner onboarding and certification as needed.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Technical Writing, Instructional Design, Communications, Technical Training, or Training Development.

• Experience and proven examples of developing onboarding and certification content for partners.

• Equivalent qualifications may include:

  • A minimum of 4 years of extensive experience in technical writing or instructional material development in lieu of a degree.

  • Professional certifications in technical writing or instructional design (e.g., STC Certified Professional Technical Communicator, ATD certifications).

• Minimum of 4 years of experience in technical writing, training development, or related roles, preferably in partner enablement or certification.

• A technical background or familiarity with software, systems, or technical processes is preferred.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• The ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, user-friendly language for partner audiences.

• Strong organizational and project management skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with authoring tools such as Rise 360, Camtasia, RoboHelp, Chat GPT, or similar.

• Knowledge of e-learning platforms and tools (e.g., Articulate, Rise 360).

• A basic understanding of industry standards like ACM, IEEE, or specific compliance requirements.

If you are passionate about creating impactful partner onboarding and certification content and thrive in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.
