The Position

The Position

Based in our Sant Cugat hub, you will join the Global Customer Support Knowledge & Learning Excellence (KLE) organization. As Content Creation and Management Sub-chapter, we create content that enables customers and Roche service personnel to use, install, and maintain diagnostic instruments and software. 

As a Technical Writer Intern, you will join a team evolving from traditional document-based publishing toward a content-first approach, focusing on modular reusable content and moving away from static outputs. You will work with a new content management system (CMS) to migrate and deliver high-quality information through a global content delivery platform. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a regulated, high-tech healthcare environment.

What You Will Do

• Play a key role in transitioning our knowledge base to a new CMS, helping us move from "documents" to "intelligent, reusable content".

• Learn to author in XML, treating content as data. You will explore how this modular approach allows for reuse across different deliverables and platforms. 

• Explore the use of AI applied to the content creation process.

• Learn to plan, develop, and organize technical documentation according to global corporate style guides and standards.

• Collaborate with content managers, project teams, and subject matter experts (SMEs) to gather complex information.

• Learn how to meet quality targets and timelines, while ensuring regulatory requirements are respected.

• Assist in creating and modifying multimedia content (photographs, screenshots, diagrams) using modern software tools.

• When ready, draft and update customer-facing and service content (User Guides, Installation Guides, Data Specifications, etc.) in English for Roche software and instruments.

• Contribute your fresh perspective to discussions aimed at the continuous improvement of our tools and processes.

What You Bring

• A strong interest in technical writing, instructional design, or knowledge management.

• Excellent spoken and written command of English (C1/C2 level or native equivalent) as this is our primary working language.

• Familiarity with or curiosity about documentation tools and standards (e.g., XML/DITA, IXIASoft, Oxygen, or Figma) and multimedia tools.

• Enthusiasm for working collaboratively in an international, multicultural environment.

• Ability to join for a full-time internship (12 months)
