You’ll work cross-functionally with IT teams and document owners to manage documentation from draft through final release and controlled storage. Your role will be central to document lifecycle management, change control processes, and compliance readiness initiatives, helping ensure IT documentation is secure, consistent, and audit-ready.

Standardization Efforts: Help develop and maintain standardized IT document templates, headers, footers, and formatting to improve consistency and reduce errors
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with IT teams to resolve technical, documentation, or process-related issues
Documentation Resource Support: Serve as an IT documentation resource during technical document reviews, presentations, and compliance readiness activities

YOU’RE AWESOME AT:

Technical Documentation Excellence: Creating clear, accurate, and well-structured IT technical documentation, including procedures, manuals, and work instructions
Document Control & Compliance: Managing document lifecycle activities such as versioning, approvals, change control, and controlled storage in compliance-driven environments
CUI Awareness & Information Security: Applying document security classifications, including CUI marking, handling requirements, and approved storage practices
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Effectively partnering with IT, Cybersecurity, and document owners to resolve documentation issues and support compliance readiness
