We are currently looking for a highly skilled and passionate Senior Technical Writer to join the Product team in our Chiasso HQ for a maternity cover (8 months).

In this position, you will lead our documentation projects and contribute to the ongoing development of our content strategy. As part of the Platform Product team, you will play a pivotal role in creating clear, concise, and valuable documentation that enhances user experience.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop content strategy: Develop innovative and efficient ways to deliver technical content that meets the needs of a diverse user base. Address challenges by providing creative solutions that align with business goals and user needs.

• Innovate and improve documentation processes: Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and implement new processes and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Continuously seek feedback and iterate on improvements.
• Tailor content across different mediums: Adapt writing style to suit various formats, such as best practice guides, how-to articles, bug fixes, and known limitation articles. You will know how to adjust tone and voice depending on the medium and audience.

Who you are:

• Language expert: You have a passion for the English language and a keen eye for detail, understanding the nuances of grammar and punctuation (like the Oxford comma and difference between an en dash and em dash).
• Highly organized: You are self-motivated and able to manage multiple projects efficiently, whether working independently or as part of a collaborative (often remote) team.
• Creative and process-driven: You approach technical writing with creativity, innovating within your role to improve documentation processes and systems.
• Comprehensive understanding of the writing process: You excel in all aspects of technical writing—from discovery and research to drafting, editing, auditing, and publishing.

Requirements:

• A minimum of 5 years of experience in technical writing or content management, ideally within IT or SaaS industry.
