About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in AI technology, is looking for a skilled Technical Writer to join their team for a 3‑month contract to hire engagement. This project involves defining the voice and structure of critical customer‑facing content for their innovative product vision and architecting scalable documentation solutions. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

- Experience with content strategy, information architecture, and documentation process evolution.
- Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
