  • Intellectually curious; up to date on industry trends
  • Innovative and willing to take risks
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

Here is what is needed:

  • Experience leading small teams

  • Proven experience creating customer-facing product and strategy documentation for non-technical audiences, preferably content for a business process-oriented tool
  • A proven track record of assessing and recommending necessary methods and strategies to improve existing content, and developing an innovative vision for the future
  • Experience with leveraging Help Center/Knowledge Base analytics to make data driven decisions
  • Experience or interest in exploring generative AI as an educational tool
