Confluence Specialist & Technical Communicator

We are looking for a second member of our Confluence team, someone with a strong background in Confluence to help manage and grow King´s primary content management system, under the guidance of the Confluence Leader.

Your role within our Kingdom
You will help the Confluence Leader to manage, maintain, and grow King´s central information hub (based on Confluence), to serve as a vital element in documenting and communicating shared technology capabilities, best practice guides, processes, demos, and anything else technical that is needed across the backend and game teams.

Your responsibilities:
Act as an internal salesperson for the Confluence project - promoting and encouraging the use of the tool. Confluence was rolled out at King just five months ago, so innovative thinking on how to encourage buy-in by the users will be highly valued.
The role might also grow to include some traditional technical writing - sitting with developers to debrief them on particular technical topics and subsequently turn those conversations into coherent user-focused documentation.
Prioritise the production of documentation, presentations, best practice guides, tech talks, etc. needed for game teams to understand what is available and how to use it.
Develop and evolve best practices for creating content.
Manage, produce, structure and maintain all such material, including deprecating material as it becomes obsolete.
Assess existing information sources and manage a transfer of relevant information to Confluence.
Be a point of contact for questions about platform capabilities, by referring to the right material or referring to the right technical person.
Work directly with developers, product managers and programme managers to get the relevant information either verbally, via technical drafts or via source code, to produce the necessary material without impacting the velocity of development.

Skills to create thrills
You?re the ideal candidate if you?re a great communicator with a technical background, comfortable with defining and evolving a sensible structure of documentation, presentations and videos and looking after content as diverse as induction material, roadmaps, API descriptions and best practice documentation. Other skills include:
Prior Experience with Atlassian Confluence
You?ve worked with Atlassian Confluence v4 or later (King is on v5.2), both front-end (content) and back-end (administration, plugins, debugging, and firefighting)
You?ve managed a documentation or information hub with several stakeholders, either internal or external.
You know how to work closely with software developers.
You bring in project or programme management experience.
You?re really smart and articulate in English, both written and verbally
You want to learn and work with new things ? motivated by interesting challenges in a fast-growing environment
You?re comfortable interacting with everyone from product managers to project leads to developers, data scientists, and architects.
You understand that documentation is necessary but that nobody has the time to read a bunch of stuff - it needs to be as snappy and interesting as possible to be of use.
