Sr. Director, Technical Documentation
About The Position
FTI is building a data and intelligence ecosystem that will become the connective layer across FTI Technology's entire product suite. Corporate clients in regulated industries will ask hard questions before they commit: how are the AI models documented, how is their data handled, and what is the chain of custody. This role exists to make those questions answerable, and to build the documentation program that enables the rest of the Technology segment to operate at that standard. This is not a generalist writing role. It is a quantitative role whose primary output is documentation.
Requirements
- 10+ years producing technical documentation for data platforms, AI systems, or quantitative models in a professional environment.
- A quantitative background (statistics, mathematics, econometrics, or equivalent).
- Requires travel to clients and FTI offices.
- Must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; this position does not provide visa sponsorship.
Nice To Haves
- Understanding how models work well enough to identify where assumptions introduce risk and document those risks precisely.
- Strong technical writing skills; ability to produce a detailed model specification that is technically rigorous and readable by a non-technical stakeholder.
- Ability to write an API reference that a developer can actually use.
- Ability to set a documentation bar and hold it.
- Experience in financial services, legal technology, or any regulated industry.
- Familiarity with model risk management standards is highly valued.
Responsibilities
- Own the documentation infrastructure for FTI Technology's data and intelligence platform, including the data dictionary, architecture documentation, API specifications, and integration guides.
- Produce model documentation packages for the platform's AI and ML capabilities: training data provenance, assumption disclosures, validation methodology, version history, and performance monitoring.
- Ensure API specifications and data dictionary serve as contracts for integration, removing coordination bottlenecks.
- Work across engineering, data, security, and operations teams, and with adjacent product teams including IQ.AI, FTI Connect, and TechOps, to extract technical knowledge and convert it into usable artifacts.
- Communicate effectively with both engineers and senior leadership.
- Establish documentation standards, tooling, and processes for other FTI Technology teams as the program matures.
Benefits
- On-the-job learning
- Self-guided professional development courses and certifications
- Assigned a dedicated coach for mentorship and guidance
- Tailored programs for critical professional milestones
