Your Team
The Technical Support Operations team is located throughout the globe and is focused on providing support to the main Technical Support organization in their goal to provide exceptional customer service. The Technical Support Operations team includes a unique combination of data detectives, technical wizards, process ninjas and word wranglers that position us to provide the best operational support for Magnet’s Technical Support team.
“The operations team needs a Digital Content designer to create and manage our internal processes and make sure that the greater technical support team is aware of what is expected of them. This is a brand-new role that will help us keep the support team organized and on our path to success.”
What You Will Accomplish
- Document support workflows, escalation procedures, troubleshooting steps, and tool usage guidelines.
- Maintain and organize internal support operations document repository (e.g., Confluence).
- Revise digital content to incorporate process updates
- Proofread your own digital content and provide peer reviews to others to ensure consistent language and style, as well as the correct application of templates.
- Partner with support leads and SMEs to capture tribal knowledge and formalize it into repeatable SOPs.
- Continuously audit and update content based on tool changes, customer feedback, or team input.
- Collaborate with the Quality Manager to ensure documented processes align with business needs and quality standards.
- Design and deliver live and asynchronous onboarding and upskilling training for technical support engineers.
- Create reference materials such as job aids, cheat sheets, scenario walkthroughs, and quick-start guides.
- Collaborate with internal teams to integrate training into the support engineer’s workflow.
- Track and report on training effectiveness, using feedback to improve content and delivery.
What We Are Looking For
- We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have ‘been there, done that.” We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.
- There are a couple must haves, but we will keep that list short:
- Bachelor’s degree in instructional design, education, or a related field, with 3–7 years of experience in digital content design or related technical support roles (new graduates with strong potential welcome).
- Expertise in instructional design, accessibility best practices, and the ability to translate complex workflows into clear, user-friendly documentation.
- Proficiency in using learning or content management systems, as well as familiarity with tools like Salesforce, Jira, Confluence, and Google Workspace.
- Strong skills in writing, editing, proofreading, verbal communication, and attention to detail, with excellent time management and organizational abilities.
- A collaborative team player with a self-starter attitude, problem-solving skills, and experience working in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
The Most Important Thing
- We’re looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they demonstrated Magnet CODE in their previous experiences.
- CARE -We care about each other and our mission to make a difference in the world.
- OWN -We are accountable for or results – while never forgetting to act with integrity, empathy, and respect.
- DEDICATE -We put our heart and soul into meeting the needs of our customers and helping them serve the people they protect.
- EVOLVE -We are constantly innovating and exploring new ways to work together to make an impact with our work.
