As a Technical Writing Manager (internally known at Anduril as Technical Documentation Manager) for Fury, your mission is to take extreme ownership of Technical Data Module development and delivery, providing accurate, updated, and easy-to-understand documentation on how to use Fury. You will do whatever it takes to organize our engineering and program delivery functions in this mission. In this role, you will work closely with engineers, operations, and various subject matter experts as well as Gov representatives and 3rd Party Venders, to understand our products, identify user workflows, and use documentation to close the gap. You will utilize your excellent leadership skills to drive the team to deliver contractually required deliverables on time and defect-free.

You will identify relevant stakeholders and lead them through a documentation roadmap with established key milestones and targets.
