Senior Manager, Documentation

Camunda is hiring a Senior Manager to lead our Documentation team for Camunda 8. In this high-impact role, you’ll own the end-to-end user experience across our documentation platform (docs.camunda.io), transforming it from a collection of reference content into a best-in-class, user-focused resource. Reporting to the VP of Engineering and part of the senior engineering leadership team, you will drive the strategic evolution of our documentation practice—building a high-performing team, embedding technical writers within product teams, and instilling a culture of ownership, excellence, and product fluency. Lead and scale a high-performing documentation team, including hiring and onboarding new technical writers, and fostering a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement. Establish governance and scalable collaboration processes between documentation, engineering, and product teams to ensure aligned, consistent, and high-quality content. Drive a user-first documentation strategy, evolving our content from technical reference to intuitive, end-to-end product guidance that empowers users across all experience levels. Develop product fluency within the documentation team to enable technical writers to create content with minimal reliance on engineering hand-holding. Act as a hands-on leader, contributing directly to documentation, setting standards, and modeling excellence while supporting the team as a player-coach.
