About the Role
We are seeking a skilled Technical Writer to support the implementation of complex agreements. This role sits within a multidisciplinary team and plays a critical part in translating the requirements of the agreements into clear, practical documentation and processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop clear, structured documentation to support the implementation of complex agreements, translating legal and operational requirements into practical guidance
- Create core documentation, including policies, procedures, work instructions, process maps, workflows, templates, and quick reference materials
- Review and improve existing documentation to enhance consistency, usability, and alignment with governance and compliance requirements
- Work closely with subject matter experts to capture current and future state processes, ensuring documentation reflects how agreements are implemented in practice
- Translate agreement obligations into operational processes, tools, and templates that support delivery, tracking, and compliance
- Develop clear, accessible materials to support understanding across a range of stakeholders, including non-technical audiences
- Support change and implementation activities through development of guidance notes, FAQs, and training materials
- Ensure all documentation is practical, defensible, and supports consistent application across multiple projects and stakeholder groups
You are an experienced technical writer who thrives in complex environments and can confidently bridge the gap between legal/technical content and practical application.
You will bring:
- Proven experience creating operational documentation (policies, procedures, workflows, and templates)
- Strong ability to translate complex or legal content into plain English
- Experience working with multiple stakeholders and subject matter experts
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail with a focus on document consistency and usability
- Strong understanding of governance, compliance, or regulated environments
- Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality outputs
- Background or experience in legal disciplines, cultural heritage management, (e.g. anthropology, archaeology), or environmental management
- Exposure to large, complex organisations or projects
- Experience interfacing with the cultural heritage management or Native Title sector
