  • Review and/or copyedit content developed by other team members
  • Perform 508 Accessibility checks to comply with WCAG on all content created
  • Coordinate for publication in print (e.g., PDF, PPT) and electronic (e.g., knowledge base) format

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • Ability to learn new technologies quickly and to then translate them into easily understandable concepts for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to work in a fluid environment on multiple projects at once
  • Self-motivated with the ability to carve out focused time to get work done independently
