Language Specialist - German Speaker

Role Overview

We are looking for a German-speaking Technical Writer / Documentation Specialist to work on complex, domain-specific documentation for our banking and regulatory reporting products.

Responsibilities

• Authoring & Editing: Write, edit and maintain technical documentation in German (and sometimes English) for banking and regulatory reporting products. Transform drafts from product teams into clear, consistent, client-ready documents. Ensure terminology and domain-specific language are correct and used consistently.
• Quality & Consistency: Validate that documentation accurately reflects the current behaviour of the software. Align content with internal standards, style guides and regulatory requirements where applicable. Work closely with Product Managers, BAs and Developers to clarify functionality and edge cases.
• Handling Complex Technical Content: Understand and describe complex financial/regulatory concepts in an accessible way for end users. Structure information logically so users can quickly find and understand what they need.
• Tooling & Documentation-as-Code: Contribute to the move from scattered Word/PDF/Confluence content towards structured documentation as code (e.g. Markdown, XML-based formats like DITA, AsciiDoc, etc.). Work with documentation tooling and repositories that treat docs similarly to source code (version control, review workflows, etc.).
• Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Collaborate with existing documentation specialists and product teams. Participate in handovers and shadowing with current team members to build product and domain knowledge.

• C1 Native-level German (ideally native speaker) with excellent written skills and nuance; Very strong English (ideally near-native) for collaboration and occasional content; Proven experience with complex technical documentation (not just lightweight or generic content).
