They’ll be self-motivated, proactive, highly organized, and have a steadfast attention to detail.

- Establish the rubric for how changes to the documentation are communicated to cross-functional teams, as well as external partners (e.g. release notes for new builds and updates).
- Work closely with the XD team to understand the platform features implemented within the Product UI, in order to ensure the relevant context is presented to advertisers in a useful and usable way.
- Audit existing documentation and discover opportunities for improvement and optimization; drive improvements to implementation through establishing workflows, action items, and collaborative processes.
- Initiate, define, and lead new content design projects from conception to completion across the ads documentation product area.
- Define content design workflows and parameters for the work to drive discussion and bring to implementation.
- Evaluate Content Management System requirements, and advocate for changes as needed. Your Skills:
- You provide both strategic direction and hands-on writing/editing.
- You’re comfortable working with platform engineers to ingest and synthesize highly complex information, turning technical jargon into user-friendly content that’s consistent and legible for various audiences (e.g. advertisers, sales reps, product teams).
- You’re a storyteller at heart who can craft and orchestrate cohesive narratives across touchpoints to different audiences, including internal stakeholders and external advertisers.
- You communicate productively with visual thinkers and will be comfortable advocating for your point of view in our candid, feedback-driven culture.
