Senior Technical Writer / Documentation Specialist (PMO) Job #: 3031456 Overview Apex is seeking a senior-level Technical Writer to support a large documentation initiative focused on project management, project controls, and internally developed tools. This role will lead the development, restructuring, and ongoing maintenance of PMO documentation, including a large Project Management (PM) manual, standard operating procedures (SOPs), job aids, and process documentation. The position is expected to be a long-term engagement (initially one year) and will work closely with PMO leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders to capture, formalize, and maintain evolving processes as new tools and systems are rolled out. Key Responsibilities Review, update, and restructure an existing PM manual currently ~200 pages, which is expected to grow significantly or be broken into more modular content. Develop new documentation from scratch where no existing content is available, including procedures, SOPs, and job aids. Conduct stakeholder interviews to extract process knowledge and document current‑state and future‑state workflows. Collaborate with PMO leadership and partner teams to define documentation priorities, criticality, and sequencing. Create supporting diagrams and flowcharts (e.g., using Visio or equivalent approved tools) as needed to clarify processes. Support documentation related to PMO tools and systems, including budgeting tools and other platforms being rolled out through the year. Help assess and potentially evolve documentation toward a more scalable knowledge base model over time. Participate in an initial assessment phase to evaluate documentation scope, effort, and sequencing, and contribute to a roadmap or prioritization deliverable. Maintain documentation as processes continue to change, with the goal of having draft versions of all prioritized documents completed by year‑end.
