About The Role
FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Technical Author to work for our client within the finance sector. This is initially a 12-month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in Birmingham.
Our client is seeking a Technical Author to be part of the new Technology, Data and Innovation (TDI) Operations Management (OM) central audit governance team. You will collaborate with ITIL service management SMEs to create robust audit related documentation to support the timely closure of internal and external / regulatory findings. You will use your advanced documentation skills to articulate and evidence the work completed, in order to satisfy internal risk management scrutiny and demonstrate to auditors and regulators that the findings have been remediated. You will be responsible for owning and managing all aspects of the documentation's production throughout its lifecycle.
Responsibilities
* Work in close collaboration with IT service management process owners and their SMEs to create documentation for an audience of internal and external auditors
* Determine the full list of artifacts the auditors will require as evidence of the finding remediation, and create and own the plan to ensure their timely production
* Track the production of the supporting artifacts, review their quality / appropriateness with regard to passing auditor scrutiny, and drive others to meet the planned deadlines - thereby ensuring all evidence is available in your audit document to support on-time closure of the finding
* Own the production of the audit documentation throughout its lifecycle, including: being the primary author, eliciting information from SMEs (facilitating workshops when required), iterating and tracking document versions, securing evidence and gaining the various approvals required
* Help to establish and continually improving the framework for managing audit activities
About You
Requirements
* A minimum of 4 years experience writing formal governance documentation for IT functions that stands up to audit scrutiny - e.g. policies, procedures, term of reference, senior management briefings
* Ability to scrutinize documentation in an objective, unbiased way, as though through the eyes of an auditor - to identify shortcomings, gaps, anomalies and potential risk exposure
* Ability to quickly understand new technical information and concepts, and from this produce documents that communicate effectively and efficiently with auditor audiences who are unfamiliar with the subject
* Ability to quickly build relationships, collaborate and influence to achieve results in a fast-moving, diverse, global environment
* Be able to manage small projects and work to pressing deadlines, including being flexible and accommodating changes to plans and demand
