About Kraken
Kraken is a large SaaS platform covering several product areas; Kraken Customer, KrakenFlex, Kraken Field and Kraken Grid.
Kraken Customer has around 20 worldwide utility companies (’clients’) which they use to run their businesses.
KrakenFlex enables commercial customers to connect and control a diverse range of distributed energy resources, and domestic customers to manage and control smart-home devices - including batteries, electric vehicles (EVs), and home solar panels.
What you'll do

- Ensuring that documentation is both current and relevant in an environment where application changes are made several hundred times a day.
- Ensure that Kraken documentation is usable, useful, discoverable and used widely.
- Implement standards of documentation across Kraken and hold people to account for producing it.
- Work across multiple parts of the organisation to identify ways to reuse content.
- Own decisions about the documentation platforms we end up using, be they third party services or - potentially - custom-built solutions.
- Help to implement efficient solutions for translation into multiple languages.
- Build our capacity to produce content, through training and/or hiring.
What you'll need
- Leadership qualities to inspire and motivate people across organizations.
- A passion for documentation.
- Excellent organization skills and the ability to design processes for others to follow.
- Ability to write exemplary content.
- Enough technical background to understand API documentation, data models and content management.
It would be nice for you to have... (it's OK if you don't)
- Experience of implementing content strategy.
- Knowledge of up-to-date technical writing principles.
- Awareness of different authoring methodologies and tools.
