In this role, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality technical documentation that meets corporate standards and supports both digital and print formats. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure accuracy, clarity, and compliance while contributing to continuous improvement of documentation processes and tools. Your responsibilities include:
- Create, edit, review, and publish end-user documentation for digital and print formats
- Ensure documentation accuracy, clarity, and compliance with corporate standards, branding, and legal and regulatory requirements
- Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver documentation according to project timelines

Your profile
We are looking for someone with a Master’s degree in molecular biology or a related field, alternatively a Bachelor’s degree combined with relevant professional experience. You have at least two years of experience in structured technical or scientific writing, for example producing user manuals, validation guides or similar documentation. Experience from regulated environments, for example working according to GMP, is preferred. Familiarity with SOP-driven organizations, as well as experience using CAD tools or working with video editing, is an advantage. Experience working in XML-based content management systems (such as SDL Tridion), as well as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, is important.
