doing that person’s job for the first six months while they’re out on
leave. The ideal candidate will have a background in both software
industry technical writing and the financial industry, excellent
people- and project-management skills, be a talented writer and
editor, and enjoy making highly complex systems accessible.
Required:
* Experience managing a team of Technical Writers creating software
documentation, ideally in an Agile development environment
* Financial industry experience or demonstrated interest in complex
financial investment vehicles

* Strong writing and editing, interpersonal, and presentation skills
* Advanced knowledge of (unstructured) FrameMaker and online help
development and architecture
Desired:
* Strong technical understanding of relational databases and XML
