Original job description
Martello is looking for a Technical Writer to own technical documentation and training for our SaaS products. You will maintain/extend our MadCap Flare doc sets and training materials, keep it aligned with Mitel documentation standards, and build AI-assisted workflows that make documentation process faster, more consistent and easier to scale.
We’re looking for someone with experience developing and implementing AI-assisted workflows for drafting/updating/ reviewing/auditing technical content. You will assess readiness to implement workflows and recommend a plan to get us there, while continuing to build/maintain technical content using existing processes to keep pace with releases.
Working Arrangement
The documentation and training work in this role is 30–40 hours a week. We’re open to a contract, permanent position or other arrangement that works for both. If you bring skills beyond technical writing, such as marketing content, video or web, there’s room to build the role into a full-time position. Tell us more...
Key responsibilities
- Plan, write, and maintain clear, accurate customer-facing documentation, including installation, configuration, user, and troubleshooting guides
- Write and publish release notes for each release, including partner platform compatibility and changes to supported versions
- Develop and update training materials for customers/partners with each release
- Lead the introduction of generative AI into our documentation process by evaluating tools, defining workflows, and establishing guidelines, in collaboration with IT/Security, for how AI is used to draft, update, and review content.
- Review and validate AI-assisted content for technical accuracy, completeness, and clarity, working closely with subject matter experts to ensure customers can trust what they read
- Design and maintain the information architecture of our documentation, structuring content for reuse across help sites, in-product guidance, and AI-powered support tools such as chatbots and search
- Create short how-to videos for common tasks, using AI tools where they improve speed or quality, such as for scripting/narration/editing
- Develop and maintain a style guide and terminology standards that keep all content consistent with our voice
- Partner with Product/Engineering/Support to stay ahead of product changes and identify documentation gaps
- Track documentation effectiveness using customer feedback, support trends, and content usage data
- As AI adoption grows, share best practices for effective, responsible use of AI in content creation with other teams
- Manage Flare project health: topics, snippets, variables, conditions, TOCs, targets and output builds
Required qualifications
- 5+ yrs experience writing customer-facing technical documentation for B2B or enterprise software products
- Hands-on MadCap Flare experience, including single-sourcing, snippets, variables, conditional text, multiple targets, and HTML5 and PDF outputs
- Demonstrated experience using generative AI tools in a professional writing workflow, with examples of how they improved speed or quality while maintaining accuracy
- A critical, detail-oriented approach to reviewing content, including identifying factual errors, gaps, and inconsistencies in AI-generated drafts
- Ability to learn complex products quickly and explain them clearly to users with varying levels of technical knowledge
- Experience designing or restructuring documentation sets, including content organization, navigation, and reuse.
- Experience creating training materials or other instructional content
- Proven ability to work independently with engineers, product managers, and support teams to gather information and drive content to completion
- Experience producing short instructional or how-to videos
- Excellent written English, with a strong command of style, tone, and terminology consistency
- A portfolio or writing samples demonstrating clear, well-structured technical content
Nice to haves
- Experience documenting Mitel or other unified communications, VoIP, network monitoring, or IT operations products
- Experience preparing documentation for AI-powered support tools, such as chatbots or AI search
- Experience introducing new tools or processes within a team/organization
- Experience with AI video tools for screen capture/scripting/voice narration/editing, so videos can be updated quickly when the UI changes
- Experience with docs-as-code practices (Git, Markdown, CI-based publishing) or with AI coding agents applied to documentation
- Experience building reusable AI assets such as prompt libraries/custom instructions/style-guide skills/review checklists
Skills that could expand the role to full time
- Creating digital media and marketing content, such as customer newsletters, promotional videos, brochures, slide decks and website content
- Editing website content in WordPress
- Coordinating vendor logistics for events, such as banners and promotional items
- Other strengths you think would add value to Martello. We’d love to hear
