The company has established offices and a robust customer base across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Overview Of The Role

KX is hiring a Technical Documentation Lead. As the Technical Documentation Lead, you will lead by doing — setting strategy while remaining hands-on with the tools, workflows, and publishing systems that power KX's Docs-as-Code ecosystem. You'll mentor a team of technical writers and collaborate with engineering, product, and design teams to deliver world-class documentation that accelerates user adoption and deepens product understanding.

You'll also drive the modernization of our documentation infrastructure, ensuring our authoring and publishing workflows reflect modern software engineering practices — version control, automation, and structured content design — to scale content delivery with precision and impact.

Key Responsibilities

· Act as a player-coach: Balance strategic leadership with hands-on contributions in writing, tooling, and publishing workflows.

· Develop and execute a comprehensive technical writing strategy for KX's suite of data and analytics products.

· Lead, mentor, and grow a team of technical writers, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

· Partner with product management, engineering, marketing and customer success teams to prioritize, create and maintain clear, concise, and user-focused documentation, including API guides, tutorials, FAQs, and user manuals.

· Own the end-to-end lifecycle of our documentation platforms, from roadmap and consolidation strategy to release management and ongoing operational excellence.

· Ensure technical content effectively communicates complex concepts to a wide range of audiences, from highly technical developers to business end-users.

· Collaborate with the developer experience and product design team to integrate documentation seamlessly into the product user experience.

· Drive the adoption of documentation standards, style guides, and tools to ensure consistency and quality across all materials.

· Analyze user feedback, product usage data, and industry trends to identify opportunities to enhance the documentation ecosystem.

· Lead the adoption of innovative technologies such as interactive documentation, video tutorials, and AI-driven support tools, such as chatbots, to improve user engagement.

Skills

· Proficiency in modern documentation tools (e.g., Markdown, Git, VS Code, MadCap Flare) and methodologies (e.g., docs-as-code, DITA, structured content).

· A passion for making complex technologies accessible and intuitive for diverse audiences.

· Technical writing in a B2B Software Environment

· Team Leading

· Driving communication at C level

Essential Experience

· 10+ years of experience in technical writing, with 5+ years in a leadership role, preferably in the data or analytics domain.

· Strong understanding of developer ecosystems, data platforms, and analytics technologies (experience with APIs, SDKs, or distributed systems is a plus).

· Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence and inspire leadership and cross-functional teams.

· Proficiency in modern documentation tools (e.g., Markdown, Git, VS Code, MadCap Flare) and methodologies (e.g., docs-as-code, DITA, structured content).

· A passion for making complex technologies accessible and intuitive for diverse audiences.

· Bachelor's degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent practical experience.
