Manager, Support Content & Knowledge

Auctane•Austin, TX

15h•Hybrid

About The Position

Auctane powers shipping for hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide through brands like ShipStation, Stamps.com, ShipEngine, Metapack, and more. Our customers depend on us to keep them moving — and the quality of our support content is a direct lever on whether they can help themselves or need to pick up the phone. We’re looking for a Manager to own and transform our support content and knowledge operations. This isn’t a maintain-what-exists role. Our knowledge base needs a reset. Our help center needs to measurably deflect contact volume. And we believe AI is the key to getting a small, sharp team to operate at the scale of a much larger one. You’ll lead a team of content writers and knowledge base specialists. You’ll be responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of all support-facing content, both the customer-facing help center and the internal knowledge base that powers our agents and AI tools.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in content operations, knowledge management, technical writing, or a related function
1+ years in a people management or team lead role, with experience setting priorities and developing individual contributors
Hands-on experience managing a knowledge base or help center, including content governance, taxonomy, and publishing workflows
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Support teams to keep content current and accurate
Comfort with AI tools in a content context, whether that is writing assistants, gap detection, or quality automation; this role is expected to use AI actively, not just be aware of it
Strong project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple brands, stakeholders, and workstreams without dropping things

Nice To Haves

Experience in a SaaS or e-commerce environment, particularly in a customer support or CX function
Familiarity with structured authoring and content reuse principles (DITA, component-based CMS, or similar)
Experience managing content across multiple brands or product lines
Comfort with data: able to pull and interpret basic content performance metrics and make decisions from them

Responsibilities

Define and execute the content strategy for customer-facing help centers and internal agent knowledge bases across Auctane brands, starting with Stamps.com and ShipStation.
Establish a unified content architecture that supports both public and internal content with clear classification, access controls, and publishing workflows.
Build and maintain a content taxonomy and governance model that scales as we add brands and channels.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Training to ensure knowledge is created proactively — not reactively after customers start calling.
Leverage AI tools and workflows to dramatically increase content velocity, quality, and coverage. We expect this role to be hands-on with AI — evaluating tools, designing AI-augmented workflows, and continuously improving how the team operates.
Identify and implement AI solutions for content drafting, knowledge gap detection, stale content identification, and automated quality assurance.
Work closely with the AI and chatbot team to ensure content is structured and optimized for AI consumption — what you publish directly impacts how well our AI agent performs.
Evaluate and recommend knowledge management platforms and tooling. You’ll play a central role in technology decisions that affect how content is authored, managed, and served.
Lead a team of 3–8 content writers and KB specialists. Set priorities, manage workload, and develop your people.
Evaluate the content request and production workflow. Today it runs through Jira tickets from various departments and it needs to be faster, smarter, and less manual.
Own the metrics. Establish KPIs for content performance: deflection rates, article effectiveness, knowledge coverage, content freshness, and self-service adoption.
Drive accountability for content quality across brands. If the knowledge base is outdated, agents use workarounds. If the help center doesn’t answer the question, customers call. You own that outcome.
Lead the evaluation and potential migration of our content management tooling. Our current stack includes Paligo (CMS), Confluence (internal KB), and Zendesk Guide (customer-facing). This needs to be simplified.
Ensure content reuse and structured authoring capabilities are preserved or improved in any platform transition. We publish across multiple brands and need efficient multi-brand content management.
Collaborate with engineering and vendor partners on integrations, API configurations, and content delivery pipelines.
