Software Technical Writer II
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
About the role: likely the first paragraph after Description: "The Software Technical Writer is responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving high-quality technical documentation that supports enterprise software applications, business systems, IT services, and operational processes across the North American organization. This role partners closely with application owners, developers, business analysts, project managers, infrastructure teams, and end users to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accurate, and user-friendly documentation. The Technical Writer ensures consistency, usability, and compliance of documentation while supporting software implementations, enhancements, training initiatives, and operational excellence across the IS portfolio."
We can put that as prose in
.
Responsibilities: list of Primary Duties bullet points. The text after "Primary Duties" includes many sentences separated by periods. We can turn each sentence into a
- . However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into list items.
Qualifications: Required Education, Training and Experience paragraph. Also maybe Preferred Education, Training And Experience? Could be part of Qualifications as well. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications could be a list? But we have prose describing required and preferred. Could treat as
for prose. However we have separate "Preferred Education, Training And Experience" which is a list of bullet-like items? Actually it's a sentence: "Technical Writing certification or related professional credential. Experience in a regulated industry such as healthcare, life sciences, diagnostics, manufacturing, or pharmaceuticals. Familiarity with software validation, quality systems, and compliance documentation." That's a list separated by periods. Could be turned into
- . Similarly "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" is a list of items separated by periods. Could be turned into
- .
But the instruction says: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For qualifications, we could also use list if it's a list. However they said "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". Not explicitly for qualifications, but we can still use list if it's a list. Safer to follow: For duties (responsibilities) use list. For requirements (qualifications) maybe also list? The phrase "requirements" appears in the instruction: they mention list of duties/requirements/benefits. So yes, we can use list for requirements (qualifications). For skills, also maybe list.
Thus:
- About the role:
prose.
- Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
with each duty as - .
- Requirements: maybe combine Required and Preferred? Could split into Required and Preferred subheadings? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They differentiate Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Required Education, Training and Experience (that's qualifications). Preferred Education, Training And Experience (maybe also qualifications). Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills). So we can assign:
- Requirements: Required Education, Training and Experience (maybe also include Preferred? but Preferred could go under Qualifications? Actually they have separate headings: Qualifications and Skills. So maybe Requirements = Required Education, Training and Experience. Qualifications = Preferred Education, Training And Experience. Skills = Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
Thus:
Requirements:
Requirements
or
? Since it's a paragraph describing required education and experience. Could be prose. But we could also break into list items: Bachelor degree required in ...; 2+ years of technical writing experience within IT... etc. That's two sentences. Could be - each.
Qualifications:
Qualifications
list of preferred items.
Skills: Skills
list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
Benefits: Benefits

Pay: Pay
with salary range and bonus info.
Schedule: omitted.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present.
We must not include boilerplate: remove scam warning, EEO, accommodation, reference request, etc.
Now let's extract content.
