  • Evaluate knowledge articles for ownership, currency, completeness, structure, metadata, audience, duplication, formatting, and clear resolution steps.

  • Identify stale, duplicate, incomplete, poorly structured, or low-value articles.
  • Coordinate with article owners and subject matter experts to improve high-value content.
  • Review categories, metadata, keywords, naming conventions, and linking practices to improve findability.
  • Recommend a governance process for article intake, review, certification, maintenance, retirement, and accountability.
  • Document findings, content risks, quality indicators, and a prioritized remediation backlog.
  • Support stakeholder working sessions, content validation, testing, and knowledge transfer.
  • Assist with related ServiceNow Knowledge Management, CMDB, reporting, attestation, lifecycle, automation, or workspace initiatives as assigned.
  • Prepare documentation, recommendations, dashboards, or presentations for IT stakeholders.

  • Strong analytical, research, writing, editing, and information-organization skills.
  • Ability to translate technical information into clear, concise, task-focused documentation.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to content quality.
  • Interest in IT service management, knowledge management, data governance, configuration management, enterprise platforms, or AI-enabled self-service.
  • Professional communication skills and willingness to engage with subject matter experts.
  • Ability to organize work, follow through on assignments, and incorporate feedback.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
  • Coursework or experience with ServiceNow, CMDB, ITIL, reporting, data quality, or generative AI is helpful but not required.
