About the role
About
I’m a senior communications professional (12+ years) transitioning into technical writing, with a focus on fintech and SaaS. I’m looking for an experienced technical writer who can act as a hands-on coach for a short-term engagement (approximately 3–4 weeks).
This is not a theoretical or course-based request — I’m looking for practical, real-world guidance.
What I need:
I will be working on my first project with a company and need a coach to work with me through the process.
Support includes:
- Review and feedback on portfolio pieces (user guides, process documentation, etc.)
- Help structuring documentation to meet industry standards
- Guidance on clarity, tone, and usability in technical documentation
- Occasional Q&A support as I work through drafts
Ideal background:
- Senior technical writer or content designer
- Experience in SaaS, fintech, or digital products
- Strong experience writing user-facing and/or internal documentation
- Comfortable providing direct, constructive feedback
Engagement details:
- 3–6 sessions total (30–60 minutes each)
- Flexible scheduling
- Open to hourly or package pricing
Goal:
To produce 2–3 high-quality portfolio pieces that reflect real-world technical writing standards.
If this sounds like a fit, please include:
- A brief overview of your experience
- Whether you’ve mentored or coached before
- How you would structure this type of engagement
Looking forward to connecting.
