Technical Writers

Reports to: CEO

Brief Description:

Continued, rapid growth in this leading-edge cyber-security, software and publishing business has created an opportunity for three competent technical writers to join our permanent staff, reporting to the CEO.

IT Governance has enjoyed continued, year-on-year revenue growth ever since it started business in early 2005. We employ people in a variety of customer-facing roles, from marketing and sales support through to consultancy and training. At the heart of our business is our publishing business, which specialises in books and documentation toolkits for IT Governance, Risk Management and Compliance. While the vast majority of our books are written by independent authors, there are a number of business areas in which we already employ people with the relevant subject matter expertise – what we need to do is transfer that expertise into pocket guides, manuals, books and documentation toolkits that we can then publish for our world-wide business audience.

We are looking for three graduates who have demonstrable skills and flair in understanding sometimes complex business-technical subjects (eg risk management frameworks, rather than microchips) and then writing about them in everyday terms that make the subject matter accessible to a less specialised audience (eg general business managers) – taking into account the differing sensibilities and language styles of readers from specific business sectors (project managers and cyber-security people have different jargon) or specific regions (American English and British English are not the same language).

Job Description:

Reviewing and updating existing books, pocket guides and White Papers;
Assembling existing written material into book or pocket guide format;
Working with internal or external SMEs to create new books or pocket guides to meet identified requirements in our forward publishing plan – this could involve interview and ghost-writing skills;
Creating new documentation toolkits to meet the requirements of new and emerging national and international standards;
Developing White Papers on subjects that we want to put in front of our worldwide audience;
Developing and maintaining information pages on our various websites;
Developing, improving and maintaining user manuals for our software and e-learning product suites;
Developing content for future e-learning staff awareness training courses;
Working with our partner accreditation organisation to improve and develop examination content and learner manuals for certificated management training courses;
Working with translators to make our products available in other languages;
Supporting other content creation projects around the business, as required.

Skills Required:

A solid English language competence (grammar, syntax, spelling)
Writing for a professional business audience
Writing for the Internet
Copy-editing
Proof- Reading

Skills Desired:

Understanding of Law, IT and e-Learning
A flair planning, structuring and creating written products,
Well-developed attention to detail
High output
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
Familiarity with Microsoft Office.
