About the Role

We’re looking for a Lead Technical Writer to own the documentation layer for our on-site operations function.

– You’ll create, maintain, and govern the technical writing that underpins playbooks, runbooks, SOPs, and operational standards across our datacenter portfolio.
– You’ll make sure complex technical and operational processes are captured clearly, kept current, and accessible to the teams who depend on them.
– You’ll be the dedicated owner of documentation governance — version control, review cadences, and archival — so quality and currency never slip.

What You’ll be Doing

– Own the development, maintenance, and version control of all technical documentation for on-site operations — including playbooks, runbooks, SOPs, process guides, and safety documentation.
– Translate complex engineering, operational, and vendor-specific information into clear, structured documentation usable by on-site staff, vendors, and leadership.
– Establish and enforce a documentation governance framework, including version control standards, review cadences, approval workflows, and archival protocols.
– Maintain a centralized documentation library, ensuring all documents are accurately indexed, current, and accessible to the right audiences across all sites.
– Track documentation gaps across active sites and programs, proactively flagging outdated, missing, or inconsistent documentation.
– Partner with site leadership and operations teams to capture current-state processes and convert them into standardized, scalable documentation.
– Develop and maintain onboarding documentation for new on-site staff and vendors, so every new team member has what they need to operate to Nscale standards from day one.
– Support the development of customer-facing and tenant-facing operational documentation when required, including service delivery summaries, SLA reporting templates, and escalation guides.
– Collaborate with the Process Optimization team to ensure on-site documentation aligns with broader business operations SOPs and process governance standards.

About You

– 4+ years of technical writing experience in a datacenter, infrastructure, or hardware-intensive operational environment.
– Strong ability to translate complex technical and operational concepts into clear, structured, and audience-appropriate documentation.
– Experience owning a documentation library end-to-end, including version control, governance frameworks, and review cycles.
– Familiarity with documentation tooling (Confluence, Notion, SharePoint, or equivalent) and version control best practices.
– Comfortable working closely with technical and operational subject matter experts to extract, validate, and structure process information.
– Detail-oriented and organized, able to manage multiple concurrent documentation workstreams across different sites and programs.
– Experience writing for diverse audiences, including on-site operations staff, vendor teams, and executive leadership.

Why this role matters

Our on-site teams move fast, and undocumented knowledge doesn’t scale. This role means every active site has current, audit-ready documentation, every new hire and vendor is equipped from day one, and our operations leaders can focus on running sites instead of writing about them. It’s a role built to prevent gaps before they become incidents.
