- Partner with process owners and subject matter experts to validate content accuracy.
- Develop SOP articles, reusable templates, and a style guide for future contributors.
- Implement a governed policy lifecycle process, including ownership, review cadence, version control, and approvals.
- Establish content standards, tagging practices, and documentation structures that support future AI-enabled search and retrieval.
- Train internal teams on new knowledge management and policy governance processes.
- Track governance health, including missing ownership, overdue reviews, and incomplete metadata.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of experience creating content in an enterprise knowledge base or content management platform, such as ServiceNow Knowledge Management, Confluence, or SharePoint.
- Intermediate proficiency using ServiceNow Knowledge Management as an author or contributor.
- Excellent technical writing skills and the ability to make complex information clear and actionable.
- Experience building or operating governance processes, including review cycles, approval workflows, or version control.
- Ability to work independently, manage a high-volume content schedule, and meet milestone-driven deadlines.
- Experience training or coaching others on new processes or tools.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel for documentation and tracking.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with policy management, compliance documentation, or regulatory content.
- Background in HR operations, HR shared services, or human capital management systems.
- Familiarity with metadata, taxonomy, and content lifecycle management.
- Experience structuring and tagging content for AI-assisted search or retrieval
