Technical Publications Manager
Thriving software developer in Liberty Corner, NJ has an immediate staff
opportunity for an experienced technical publications manager. You will
direct the efforts of a small team of technical writers who are documenting
a state-of-the-art transaction processing monitor. You will work on site,
with occasional travel to our Nashua, NH office.
You will use your proven communications, interpersonal, and project
management skills, and your conceptual understanding of (and, ideally,
practical experience with) object-oriented development technology, open
systems computing, and relational databases. You will lead a team of up to
12 publications professionals as they write, edit, and produce detailed
conceptual and procedural documentation for print and web-based delivery.
To qualify for this position, you must have at least 7 years of experience
creating and managing the delivery of commercial-quality documentation,
including solid experience writing about complex software development
systems. You must also have at least 5 years of management experience,
managing publications deliverables, priorities, schedules, and quality. You
must have a BA/BS degree in Computer Science or in a communications-related
discipline, or the equivalent. You must have strong project leadership,
organizational, and analytic skills, and experience guiding multiple
concurrent projects from conception to completion. Experience with SGML
authoring environments is a plus.
While not mandatory, any involvement or experience with documenting
relational database technology, or OLTP, COM or CORBA, or object-oriented
software development tools would work in your favor.
BEA Systems, Inc., which is headquartered on the west coast, develops and
documents software that allow companies to build distributed, secure
