Tasks & Responsibilities

You will partner with functional leads to translate complex operational workflows into high-quality documentation centralized within the current ecosystem (e.g., Google Sites, Drive, and Shared Drives). Your focus will include, but is not limited to, the following

  • Financial Operations: Documenting cloud and software spend management, time reporting, and financial WBS strategies

Key Responsibilities
  • Process Documentation & Visualization: Capture and formalize end-to-end operational processes, ensuring all steps are logical, transparent, and easy to follow
  • Roles & Responsibilities (RACI): Clearly define "who does what" within each process to ensure accountability across the CS-CoE
  • Content Standardization: Ensure all documentation follows a unified structure and tone, aligning with the broader P&O vision
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Interview subject matter experts (SMEs) across Portfolio, Finance, and L&D to extract technical knowledge and translate it into user-friendly guides
  • Asset Maintenance & Governance: Regularly update the "Policy Hub" and process repositories to reflect the most current operational standards

  • Documentation-as-Code Practitioner: Familiarity with Markdown, version control (e.g., Git/GitHub/GitLab), and static site generators
  • You understand that "code" isn't just for software - it's for sustainability
  • Detail-Oriented Architect: A focus on precision and the ability to map intricate workflows involving budget planning, procurement, and informatics operations into logical, modular assets within the OneDoc framework
  • Strategic Execution: A systems-thinker who can understand high-level operational strategy and convert it into tactical documentation assets that drive user adoption and "One Source of Truth" integrity
  • Agility & Collaborative Fluency: Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and managing multiple documentation workstreams simultaneously. You are an expert at leveraging Google Workspace for real-time collaboration while maintaining the architectural rigor of a code-based documentation system
  • English fluent is a MUST
