Who is Lios?
Lios Technologies (www.lios.ca) is a little company with big skills. Throwing itself into technical documentation projects of all sizes, Lios develops technical communication tools and solutions (user manuals, online help, training materials, etc.) for small, medium and large organizations, mostly in the IT and manufacturing industries. Our goal is simple: we make information useful, accessible and easy to find. This allows our clients' employees and customers to do their work as effectively as possible.
What you’ll do
At Lios, our clients and writers often need to get words on the page quickly. Since most of them are French speakers and come from a technical background instead of the writing and editing world, we need a technical content editor who can go above and beyond a simple copyedit.
We are looking for someone who can:
- Edit technical software documentation, user, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting manuals, online help content or any other documents
- Review content (print/online) and recommend revisions or changes in approach, organization, structure, or flow
- Edit various types of content for quality, tone, style, and consistency
- Proofread content for correct grammar and punctuation
What we're looking for
Here’s what you’ll need to have a great time working with us:
- Advanced copyediting and rewriting skills
- An analytical mind and the ability to quickly grasp technical concepts
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
- An ability to see things from the user or the learner's perspective
- Great teamwork skills, since our unique strengths are what help us achieve incredible results
- Autonomy
We’ll be impressed if you have a solid knowledge of:
- The Microsoft Office® Suite
- The MadPak Suite (Flare, Lingo, Capture), Adobe FrameMaker® and RoboHelp, Snagit or other similar software
- Jira, Confluence, Slack and other project management tools
- HTML and CSS
What we require
- A university degree in communications, writing, or another relevant field
- At least two years' experience in technical editing
- Native proficiency in English (a passive knowledge of French is an asset)
