We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced individual to join the Product Management team reporting to the Technical Writing Manager and be responsible for the translation and maintenance of technical documents such as protocols, product manuals, the Oxford Nanopore Store catalogue, and application-specific documentation.

• Sequencing device user manuals
• Software user manuals
• Data analysis user manuals

• Technical information about each type of product

The Technical Translator will generate customer-facing documentation using a designated content management system, and will also be using a range of content creation and editing software.
