This is not a conventional writing role — it is an opportunity to lead the transformation of how we create, manage, and deliver technical content, with AI-native workflows at the centre of that change.
The successful candidate is passionate about technical writing for software and brings genuine, hands-on experience with AI tools — not just awareness of them. They understand how large language models work in practice, can design and evaluate AI-assisted content workflows, and critically review AI-generated output before it reaches customers. They are an excellent communicator who can turn complex technical content into clear, accessible documentation, and a systems thinker who sees documentation as a product with users, feedback loops, and room for continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will have experience in working closely with a Development / Product team to produce content that is easily understood. The role will involve working with other SMEs with a wealth of knowledge on the products and customers, to gather technical details for the content and create new and innovative ideas for presenting the information.
This role involves hybrid working. Candidates within travelling distance of our Cambridge or Nottingham offices are preferred.
Duties and Responsibilities
Identify improvements to team processes and authoring practices, and lead implementation — with a particular focus on automation opportunities within the documentation pipeline.
Proactively identify and pilot opportunities to apply AI to documentation processes: automated content generation and summarisation, metadata tagging, content classification, and intelligent search and retrieval.
Establish and maintain guidelines for responsible and effective use of AI in documentation workflows
Administer the team's tools and systems including Document360, Grammarly, and DevOps. Serve as the team expert on these tools and systems (when questions arise from within the team, from other teams, or from management). Represent the team in interactions with those tools' representatives. Also responsible for our team's interaction with adjacent systems such as Google search.
Support other members of the Technical Publications team with processes, practices, and tools, and represent the team in cross-functional projects.
