Writing Assistance, Inc. is a staffing company for Technical Writers and Trainers. We have a client that develops software for the insurance industry. They are looking for a Technical Writer to update guides for new releases. It requires a Technical Writer with previous experience creating software user/admin guides. They are also looking for a writer familiar with surety automation.  The software documentation includes the life-cycle version management, implement releases. They release electronic copies with all new releases. They have two products; one product is client based and the other web based. They release user guides and admin guides and sometimes instructions for release management. They usually do release notes for feature upgrades. The release for guides is out of sync with the current version and will require serious updates. The guides and notes are sent to clients individually. They work in Word and distribute PDFs. Eventually they will upgrade the delivery and documentation system. However, for now their main priority is getting the documentation up to speed and released. At this time their sole interest is getting the documentation up to speed utilizing Word and PDFs.
 They are looking for a contractor that can be onsite to learn the systems and meet with SMEs. The writer needs to be adaptable and willing to move from project to project as needed. Being able to reprioritize is important. They are looking for a writer to "roll up their sleeves and get done what is necessary." The work environment is causal and one that goes with the highest priority at that time. The timelines will adjust accordingly. Currently they are looking at approximately 6 to 12 months of work that is backed up or going to be required in that timeframe.
