You’ll work cross-functionally with IT teams and document owners to manage documentation from draft through final release and controlled storage.

This role is designed to support a focused documentation and compliance initiative and is expected to be a temporary assignment aligned to project needs.

This is a temporary role lasting up to six months.

• Proficiency in developing and editing technical manuals and documentation using computer-based tools.
• Strong ability to interpret, organize, and communicate complex technical data.
• Experience with document control systems and change management processes.
• Exposure to NIST 800-171 or CMMC environments preferred.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in dynamic environments.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and adapt to evolving requirements.
• Availability to support a temporary project assignment lasting up to six months.

Responsibilities

• Technical Documentation Development: Prepare, edit, and maintain IT technical manuals, procedures, work instructions, and supporting documentation to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
• Documentation Planning & Coordination: Coordinate timelines, content development, and formatting standards for IT technical and compliance-related documentation projects.
• Information Gathering & Analysis: Interview IT team members, observe processes, and conduct research to accurately capture technical and procedural information.
• Document Control Support: Assist with document lifecycle activities including document numbering, version control, review coordination, approval workflows, release, and controlled distribution.
• Repository Management: Organize IT documentation within approved systems such as SharePoint GCC High and M-Files, ensuring logical structure, consistent metadata, and proper storage.
• Security & Compliance Guidance: Provide guidance on document security classification, including CUI marking expectations, approved storage locations, and handling requirements.
• Documentation Correction & Cleanup: Support identification and correction of improperly marked or improperly stored IT documentation in collaboration with document owners and IT leadership.
• Standardization Efforts: Help develop and maintain standardized IT document templates, headers, footers, and formatting to improve consistency and reduce errors.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with IT teams to resolve technical, documentation, or process-related issues.
• Documentation Resource Support: Serve as an IT documentation resource during technical document reviews, presentations, and compliance readiness activities.

Benefits

• Continuous Learning & Development: We’re serious about professional development. From tuition reimbursement to internal "Ask Me Anything" sessions and weekly “Lunch & Learns,” we make learning a core part of the job.
