Sweep is hiring a Technical Writer to work on our enterprise climate program software.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. By empowering companies with technology that helps them manage their climate impact, we believe Sweep can make a meaningful contribution to a better future for all of us.

Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?

As part of the Product team, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining documentation for our cutting-edge carbon and ESG platform that helps companies manage increasing disclosure requirements and meet sustainable business goals.

To be more specific, this includes:

  • Understand the Sweep app inside out, and stay up-to-date on the on-going developments of its features and functionalities
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (including Product, Engineering, and Customer Success) to meet technical content needs
  • Develop accurate, creative, and engaging technical content, across various channels (documentation articles, online training programs, and in-product guidance)
  • Create, maintain, and improve articles, online learning courses, and in-app text, keeping in step with product developments
  • Write, edit, and review content independently, working in a structured authoring environment
  • Oversee translation of documentation articles and online courses, ensuring accuracy and consistency
  • Stay informed on customer behaviours, product developments, company activities, and industry trends

That sounds just right for me. What do I need to bring?

Glad you asked. This is who we’re looking for:

Qualifications 🏆

  • French native speaker
  • Fluent in English
  • Proven experience as a technical writer in a SaaS B2B product environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills both in French and English
  • Ability to understand complex technical concepts and explain them clearly
  • Familiarity with software development tools and methodologies
  • Experience documenting APIs and developer guides
  • Experience working in a structured authoring tool environment
  • Ideally you already come with a deep knowledge of climate change and climate action

Qualities 🧠

  • You have strong attention to detail and ability to work independently
  • You are a strategic thinker, who sees both the big picture and the smaller underlying mechanics
  • You are a hands-on problem solver, self-motivated with a glass half-full attitude
  • You have an entrepreneurial mind, ready to launch and fail and iterate
  • You care about our mission of creating a better future for all of us
Copy that. And what’s in it for me?

You will be joining an exciting young business that has the humble ambition to change the world. With a proven track record in starting companies, we’re planning to hit the ground running and have an impact fast. Joining this journey right at the beginning allows you to really help shape our path.
