GDIT is committed to fostering economic growth and prosperity in Louisiana, with established operations in multiple locations throughout the state, including facilities in New Orleans, Natchitoches, and our Integrated Technology Center in Bossier City, LA. This position offers the flexibility to work HYBRID going from anywhere within the state of Louisiana and be able to go to the facility as required per the program. Currently, it is 1x per week.

As a Technical Editor, you will produce high-quality documentation that meets applicable standards and conforms to client-specific style, tone, and document layout standards.

You will develop process, procedure, and work instruction documentation for projects while collaborating with project leads and management. Additionally, you will create and edit easy-to-understand user guides/job aids to help end-users operate a variety of applications or documentation repositories. In terms of process governance, you will create custom frameworks that define how business processes are designed, executed, monitored, and improved. You will also create and maintain documentation repositories in SharePoint, ServiceNow, or Confluence. For process improvement, you will review existing processes and offer expert recommendations for process improvements, streamlined workflows, and simplified procedures.
