Technical Writer
Summary
Owns and restructures documentation for a Databricks-based data platform, translating technical concepts into clear guidance for engineers and non-engineers while improving SharePoint as a single entry point.
The Documentation Lead owns the knowledge and documentation layer of DataCore: how information about the platform is structured, written, maintained and found. The role is deliberately hybrid in nature, requiring enough technical understanding to document a Databricks-based data platform accurately, and enough human insight to write for people who are not engineers and to design how they will actually adopt the material.
Responsibilities
Assess the current documentation and channel landscape across the collaboration spaces in use and recommend a consolidated structure.
Define and apply sustainable documentation standards, templates and ownership that the DataCore team can maintain without external support.
Restructure and improve the SharePoint hub so that it works as a single, coherent entry point for users.
Produce onboarding and enablement material for each persona, including guidance on prompt practices for AI-driven workflows such as the GPT Databricks connector.
Establish channel governance: purpose, audience, ownership and content guidelines for each channel that is retained.
Translate technical platform concepts into clear guidance for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Key Requirements
Demonstrable technical literacy with modern data platforms and data products, sufficient to document them accurately and credibly.
Proven knowledge management and technical writing capability, including information architecture and content structure.
Human-centred adoption skills: designing content and user journeys around how people actually work, not only around what the platform does.
Practical experience with SharePoint and Microsoft 365 collaboration tooling; familiarity with Viva Engage is an advantage.
Ability to work independently with technical stakeholders and to challenge existing structures constructively.
Other Details
Indicative level: Consultant to Lead level, or the equivalent band on the supplier's Novo Nordisk IT Consulting rate card. This role should not be filled at junior level: the combination of technical understanding and adoption judgement it requires is the reason it sits above entry level. Location: hybrid, with onsite presence in Denmark for workshops, user research, and key working sessions with the DataCore team. Allocation: 50% - 100%.
