Job description

Who we are :

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry‑leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career‑building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.

We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

  • Examine approaches for leveraging technical writing tools and processes to streamline content creation
  • Ensure the successful completion of all user content required for each product release or upgrade, including secondary and complementary material
  • Manage multiple projects and parallel deadlines
  • Stay current with advances and trends in the field and industry at large
  • Collaborate with and support other Technical Writers
