Produce instruction manuals, product labels, and servicing guides that meet international safety standards.
Generate illustrations and photography for manuals and technical reports.

Compliance & Quality Support
Work closely with the Product Compliance Manager to ensure all documentation meets global safety and regulatory requirements across multiple markets.
Support the Quality Manager with inspections, quality control paperwork, and Bills of Materials for environmental reporting.
Contribute to our evolving designer-focused product compliance guide.
Document Control & Change Management
Maintain and refine documentation standards and control processes across the design, compliance, and quality functions.
Manage the flow and traceability of technical documents between UK teams and overseas factories.
Keep our technical change control systems accurate, organised, and always up to date.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Partner closely with hardware and fabric designers, engineers, and QA teams to gather information and translate it into clear, usable documents.
Provide timely responses to internal and external requests for specifications.
Support project timelines by ensuring documentation is delivered accurately and on schedule.
Experience Needed:
Proven experience producing technical product documentation (spec sheets, manuals, labels).
Familiarity with 2D technical drawing and graphical illustration.
Experience working with design teams and communicating product requirements to manufacturers.
Exposure to global supply chains, ideally with Far Eastern suppliers.
Understanding of safety, compliance, hardware, and fabric terminology.
A detail-oriented, process-driven mindset with the confidence to champion best practice.
