Our values

Win as One. Delight Customers. Deliver Great Outcomes. 

About the role

Auctane powers shipping for hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide through brands like ShipStation, Stamps.com, ShipEngine, Metapack, and more. Our customers depend on us to keep them moving — and the quality of our support content is a direct lever on whether they can help themselves or need to pick up the phone.

We’re looking for a Manager to own and transform our support content and knowledge operations. This isn’t a maintain-what-exists role. Our knowledge base needs a reset. Our help center needs to measurably deflect contact volume. And we believe AI is the key to getting a small, sharp team to operate at the scale of a much larger one.

About the team

You’ll lead a team of content writers and knowledge base specialists. You’ll be responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of all support-facing content, both the customer-facing help center and the internal knowledge base that powers our agents and AI tools.

What will you be doing?

Content & Knowledge Strategy

  • Define and execute the content strategy for customer-facing help centers and internal agent knowledge bases across Auctane brands, starting with Stamps.com and ShipStation.
  • Establish a unified content architecture that supports both public and internal content with clear classification, access controls, and publishing workflows.
  • Build and maintain a content taxonomy and governance model that scales as we add brands and channels.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and Training to ensure knowledge is created proactively — not reactively after customers start calling.

AI-Forward Operations

  • Leverage AI tools and workflows to dramatically increase content velocity, quality, and coverage. We expect this role to be hands-on with AI — evaluating tools, designing AI-augmented workflows, and continuously improving how the team operates.
  • Identify and implement AI solutions for content drafting, knowledge gap detection, stale content identification, and automated quality assurance.
  • Work closely with the AI and chatbot team to ensure content is structured and optimized for AI consumption — what you publish directly impacts how well our AI agent performs.
  • Evaluate and recommend knowledge management platforms and tooling. You’ll play a central role in technology decisions that affect how content is authored, managed, and served.

Team Leadership & Execution

  • Lead a team of 3–8 content writers and KB specialists. Set priorities, manage workload, and develop your people.
  • Evaluate the content request and production workflow. Today it runs through Jira tickets from various departments and it needs to be faster, smarter, and less manual.
  • Own the metrics. Establish KPIs for content performance: deflection rates, article effectiveness, knowledge coverage, content freshness, and self-service adoption.
  • Drive accountability for content quality across brands. If the knowledge base is outdated, agents use workarounds. If the help center doesn’t answer the question, customers call. You own that outcome.

Platform & Architecture

  • Lead the evaluation and potential migration of our content management tooling. Our current stack includes Paligo (CMS), Confluence (internal KB), and Zendesk Guide (customer-facing). This needs to be simplified.
  • Ensure content reuse and structured authoring capabilities are preserved or improved in any platform transition. We publish across multiple brands and need efficient multi-brand content management.
  • Collaborate with engineering and vendor partners on integrations, API configurations, and content delivery pipelines.

What are we looking for?

  • 3+ years of experience in content operations, knowledge management, technical writing, or a related function
  • 1+ years in a people management or team lead role, with experience setting priorities and developing individual contributors
  • Hands-on experience managing a knowledge base or help center, including content governance, taxonomy, and publishing workflows
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Support teams to keep content current and accurate
  • Comfort with AI tools in a content context, whether that is writing assistants, gap detection, or quality automation; this role is expected to use AI actively, not just be aware of it
  • Strong project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple brands, stakeholders, and workstreams without dropping things

What will make you stand out?

  • Experience in a SaaS or e-commerce environment, particularly in a customer support or CX function
  • Familiarity with structured authoring and content reuse principles (DITA, component-based CMS, or similar)
  • Experience managing content across multiple brands or product lines
  • Comfort with data: able to pull and interpret basic content performance metrics and make decisions from them

The Tech

  • Paligo CMS
  • Zendesk Guide or comparable help center platform
  • Confluence or internal knowledge base tooling
  • Jira for workflow and request management
  • Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
  • AI writing and workflow tools (comfort level more important than specific platform experience)

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
