Technical Writer

We have a client with a complex corporate policy which requires a professional review by an experienced technical writer with working experience in the many software packages available (Word; Publisher, etc). (The document under review is 54 pages long and contains a variety of formatting challenges.) The current policy is in Word, which allows us to make changes which are both economical and routine. However, there are some complex tables that might be better addressed with the use of a Publisher or database software. Long term, we may be interested in an interactive flowcharting or indexing process use/reference on our corporate website. The ideal candidate will quickly define the challenges presented by the formatting in the document. They need to meet with a management team member to describe the most cost beneficial solution (without an expensive software acquisition). The best
candidate will then deliver a document acceptable to management within two weeks."
