Today, there is a chronic and pervasive customer data problem -- one that’s preventing some of the world’s most loved brands from understanding and engaging their customers through meaningful and captivating customer experiences. Amperity has invented a way to solve this problem with the horsepower of a distributed data infrastructure and the intelligence of bleeding-edge machine learning algorithms and techniques. Amperity frees, connects, and makes customer data usable so brands can create extraordinary customer experiences at scale. This approach unleashes the creative potential of Amperity users, allowing them to excel at what they do and bring their best ideas to life.

Amperity is an early stage technology company, venture-backed by the early investors of Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Spotify, Concur, Flipkart and many more. Our team of successful, repeat entrepreneurs is focused on building a company comprised of top-tier talent and a suite of disruptive products that drive tremendous value for our customers and the consumers they serve.

The Role

• You will own Amperity’s product “documentation” to serve employees, partners and customers. Documentation may take a multi-media approach but will involve primarily the written word. Internal documentation is contained on a wiki, so you will foster a culture of contribution by many. You will partner with product managers who will contribute and maintain much of the content, ensuring that content is clean, consistent and effective.
• You will work with the Training Director to develop and polish training content for employees, partners and customers. This will include all modes of delivery: documentation, videos, labs, eLearning, etc. You will partner with the field and those delivering content to ensure that the content is effective and meets audience and trainer needs.

Responsibilities

• Implement the content and training system that serves internal and external customers
• Contribute to the end to end content & technical training systems and program for the Amperity product

• Partner directly with the product management team and make them part of the content creation process
• Deeply understand the customer experience and client use cases in Amperity, and use that understanding to develop documentation and training that accelerates implementation and usage
• Work directly with the product team to identify gaps and capabilities that dramatically simplify product implementation and usage
