• Own content and knowledge management across Sidekick surfaces, including the Help Center, macros, prompts, and proactive messaging.
• Conduct regular QA reviews, establish rubrics and escalation protocols, and ensure consistent quality standards across conversational outputs.
• Build and maintain use case testing frameworks to validate new features, guidance prompts, and workflows before launch.
• Execute content updates and audits, proactively identifying stale or inaccurate information.
• Translate complex internal operations, supplier policies, and platform updates into clear, concise, and well documented internal processes and advisor facing content.
• Partner with Support to gather feedback and identify patterns in advisor questions and resolution gaps.

• Exceptional writing skills with the ability to communicate complex or technical concepts clearly and concisely for both internal and advisor facing audiences.
• Strong research instincts with a track record of independently validating information and synthesizing findings into actionable guidance.

• Ability to quickly learn new tools and platforms, including customer support and knowledge base systems.
• Strong empathy for users and a genuine commitment to ensuring advisors feel understood and supported.
