• Oversee the full content lifecycle, ensuring knowledge assets are reviewed, maintained, archived, or retired as needed.

Operational Excellence & Knowledge Enablement

• Build and maintain a repository of high-value content, including SOPs, institutional guides, and expert-authored documents.

• Optimize search functionality to improve knowledge findability and reduce time-to-information.

• Facilitate cross-team collaboration to identify, document, and standardize key processes across the enterprise.

• Support onboarding efforts, ensuring new employees can access essential knowledge and resources quickly.

• Develop and deliver training for knowledge tools, access, and best practices, driving adoption across teams.

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Track and report key metrics (e.g., knowledge article usage, search success rates, time-to-information, and adoption).

• Analyze trends to identify gaps in the Knowledge Base and prioritize content creation efforts.

• Use data and feedback to recommend and drive continuous improvement to the Knowledge Management process, tools, and governance model.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, or related field, with two (2) years of relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, 8+ years of relevant experience is acceptable.

• Experience managing enterprise platforms such as SharePoint, Teams, Confluence, or similar systems for organizing and sharing content.
