Eckoh is a market leader of Customer Engagement Security Solutions, supporting an international client base from our offices in the U.S. and the U.K. Eckoh is owned by Bridgepoint one of the world's leading private asset growth investors, with over $75 billion of assets under management.
As a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider, our products and expanding digital and conversational AI capabilities help enterprises protect sensitive data, improve customer experience, and modernise the way they operate. Our mission is to set the standard for secure interactions between consumers and the world’s leading brands. With a strong heritage in secure payments and an expanding portfolio of cloud native, omni-channel engagement solutions our vocation is simple: to make every customer interaction secure whether it is handled by a human agent or an AI agent, without ever compromising the customer experience.
Our large portfolio of clients, which includes many of the Fortune 250, come from a broad range of vertical markets including healthcare, retail, hospitality, financial services, and utilities.
The Role: Eckoh is hiring a Senior Technical Writer to establish and own the documentation function across our customer engagement security platform. You will define our documentation architecture, toolchain and standards from the ground up, then deliver across the full span of our content — developer and API documentation, customer-facing user guides, internal handover and enablement, and product descriptions that feed marketing and sales. You will also be a key component of ensuring that our documentation processes support the ‘docs-as-code’ paradigm emerging through AI enhanced software delivery to ensure we have accurate, structured, version-controlled documentation. This is a high-autonomy, founding role: you will decide how Eckoh communicates its products in writing, across the entire product portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:
Documentation ownership & delivery

- Author developer and integration documentation, and API reference docs for our partner channels (CCaaS, CRM, PSP, SI) and customer technical teams.

- Establish and apply a consistent English-language house style US English as the default for our primary market, with awareness of UK and international audiences
- Structure content to serve both human readers and AI systems, treating documentation as a trusted source of truth for AI-powered tooling
- Define standards, templates and review processes, and continuously integrate AI into the documentation workflow to improve quality and velocity
Collaboration & product integration
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Support and Product Marketing to capture and validate content
- Engage early in the product development lifecycle so documentation requirements are embedded from the outset
- Advocate for the customer throughout — the right content, for the right user, at the right time focusing on what the customer needs, not what the system does
Measurement & growth
- Measure documentation effectiveness — for example partner time-to-integrate, support-ticket deflection and coverage against release — and improve continuously
- Prioritise ruthlessly across a broad remit, making informed trade-offs between short- and long-term needs
- As the function matures, mentor contributors across the business and help shape the case for growing the team

- The judgement to prioritise across a broad remit and sequence work based on impact

- Excellent written English with deep editorial judgement, and the ability to maintain a consistent house style across US and international audiences
- A portfolio of writing samples that communicate complex technical information clearly
- An proven understanding of how AI tooling can enhance the role of the Technical Writer in producing, editing and managing content
Desirable:
