1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure our internal and external knowledge is easy to find, accurate, and up-to-date. You'll be the person behind the scenes, getting content ready for prime time, usually working on articles, guides, and FAQs. Think of it as being the librarian of our company's collective brain, but with a lot more digital tools and a bit less shushing.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Confluence / Notion (Knowledge Base & Wiki)Intermediate

Creating, editing, and publishing knowledge articles; managing permissions for specific spaces; using basic macros and templates.

Miro / Mural (Digital Whiteboarding)Intermediate

Participating in team brainstorming sessions, contributing to user journey maps or content flows, organising ideas visually.

Grammarly (or similar writing assistant)Intermediate

Ensuring your written content is grammatically correct and clear, catching typos and stylistic errors.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above

Tool Selection/ConfigurationNo authority. You'll use the tools we provide.Can suggest specific tool features or minor configurations for team efficiency, requiring manager approval.Evaluates and recommends new tools or significant configurations for content management systems.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Time to Publish New Content
The average time it takes from receiving a final draft to having it live in the knowledge base.
Target · < 48 hours for standard articles

Received a fully reviewed article on Monday at 10:00, published by Tuesday at 14:00. That's 28 hours, well within target.

Article Quality Score
Percentage of published articles that meet all style guide, formatting, and metadata requirements on the first pass (before any corrections).
Target · >95% accuracy

Out of 20 articles published this month, 19 had perfect tags, formatting, and links. That's 95%.

Content Volume Processed
Number of new articles created or significantly updated and published each quarter.
Target · 15-20 articles per quarter

In Q1, you helped publish 18 new articles and updated 5 existing ones, hitting the target.

Broken Link Rate
The percentage of internal and external links within your managed content that lead to a 'page not found' error.
Target · < 1% (ideally 0%)

Out of 500 links in your articles, only 2 were broken. That's 0.4%, which is great.

SME Engagement & Responsiveness
How effectively you manage content review requests with Subject Matter Experts, ensuring timely feedback.
  • SMEs respond to your review requests within the agreed SLA (usually 5 working days) most of the time. You proactively follow up without needing your manager to intervene. SMEs tell us you're easy to work with and organised.
Adherence to Content Standards
Your ability to consistently apply our style guide, tone of voice, and content templates.
  • Your published content rarely needs edits for style or formatting. You're quick to spot inconsistencies in others' drafts and know how to fix them. Your manager doesn't need to remind you about specific rules.
Proactive Content Improvement
Your initiative in suggesting small improvements to existing content or processes.
  • You might spot a typo in an old article and fix it, or suggest a clearer way to phrase a common answer. You're not just waiting for tasks
  • you're looking for ways to make things better, even if it's small stuff.
Learning & Application
How quickly you pick up new tools, processes, and knowledge management concepts.
  • You're asking smart questions, taking notes, and applying what you've learned to your daily tasks. You don't make the same mistake twice, and you're keen to understand the 'why' behind our processes.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making Things Clear & Organised

You'll get a real kick out of taking a messy, jargon-filled document and turning it into a clear, easy-to-read knowledge article. You'll enjoy structuring information so it makes sense to everyone.

You take a 20-page technical spec and distill it into a 3-page 'How-To' guide that even a new starter can follow.

Helping Others Succeed

Your work directly helps customers find answers and support agents solve problems faster. You'll feel good knowing your efforts are making a tangible difference to people's daily work and experience.

A support agent tells you they found the exact answer they needed in an article you recently published, which helped them resolve a tricky customer issue quickly.

Learning & Growing in a Niche Field

Knowledge Management is a specialist area, and you'll be constantly learning about content strategy, information architecture, and new tools. If you love diving deep into a specific domain, you'll thrive here.

You're excited to learn about taxonomy design and how it improves search, rather than just seeing it as 'adding tags'.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing busy Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for content reviews and approvals.
  • Dealing with inconsistent source material that needs a lot of clean-up.
  • The feeling that your work is 'invisible' because it's about making things *not* break, rather than building something entirely new.
  • Seeing content you've tidied up get outdated quickly if not actively maintained by others.
  • Getting blamed for 'bad search' when the real issue is poorly written or untagged content (which you're trying to fix!).
What this role does not give you
  • A fast track to managing a team (that's further down the line).
  • The opportunity to define high-level content strategy from day one (you'll be executing it).
  • A role where you're constantly creating highly creative or marketing-focused content.
  • A quiet, solitary job – you'll be interacting with lots of different people.

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the efficiency of our customer support operations and the productivity of internal teams. By ensuring our knowledge base is well-organised and accessible, you'll help reduce the volume of incoming support tickets, speed up problem resolution, and allow our experts to focus on more complex tasks. Essentially, you're helping us scale our knowledge without scaling our headcount, which is a big deal for the business.

Inside the business
  • Senior Knowledge Content Strategists
  • Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across departments (e.g., Product, Engineering, Support)
  • Customer Support Teams
  • Sales Enablement Team
Outside the business
  • Customers (indirectly, through improved self-service)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Strong written English skills (grammar, spelling, punctuation).
  • Experience using a content management system (even a basic blog platform counts!) or a wiki-style tool like Confluence, Notion, or SharePoint.
  • A proven ability to organise information logically and pay close attention to detail.
  • Some experience working in a team environment, ideally where you had to coordinate with others.
  • A genuine interest in how information is structured and shared to help people.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Knowledge Base Platform Usage

You'll move beyond basic content creation to understanding more complex features like conditional content, advanced search tuning, and integrations with other systems. This makes our knowledge base more powerful.

Conditional Content · Advanced Permissions · Integration Basics · Search Tuning

  • This week: Explore the admin settings of Confluence/Notion (if you have access) to see what's possible.
  • This month: Ask your Senior Strategist to walk you through a more complex content template or macro.
  • Month 2: Take an online course or tutorial on advanced features of our primary knowledge base platform.
  • Month 3: Propose one way we could use an advanced feature to improve a specific content area.

Quick win: Spend 30 minutes each week just exploring the less-used features of Confluence/Notion. You'll be surprised what you find.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Join relevant online communities or forums for knowledge managers or technical writers (e.g., LinkedIn groups, Reddit communities).
  • Read industry blogs and articles on content strategy, information architecture, and knowledge management best practices.
  • Attend free webinars or introductory courses on Confluence, Notion, or other knowledge base platforms.
  • Seek out opportunities to shadow senior team members and learn about their more complex tasks.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Knowledge Content Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of knowledge management involves repetitive tasks. But what if you could offload some of that to AI? We're building an internal AI Productivity Hub, and for a Knowledge Content Coordinator, this means less time on the grunt work and more time on making content genuinely useful.

You'll be one of the first to get access to our AI tools, designed specifically for Knowledge Management. Think of them as your digital assistants, helping you get through your daily tasks faster and with fewer errors. We're not replacing human judgment, just making it easier to focus on what matters.

Automated Content Triage & Tagging

Feed a new draft into our AI, and it'll suggest relevant tags from our enterprise taxonomy, spot potential duplicate articles, and even suggest who should review it. You'll just need to give it a quick check and approve. No more manually sifting through hundreds of tags.

Drafting from Transcripts

Imagine recording a quick chat with an engineer about a new feature. Our AI can take that transcript and generate a structured first draft of a 'How-To' article. You'll then refine it, ensuring accuracy and tone, but the heavy lifting of getting words on the page is done.

Search Query Insights

Our AI can analyse common search queries that yield no results and group them by topic. This means instead of manually trying to figure out what people are struggling to find, you get a clear, prioritised list of content gaps to focus on. Super helpful for spotting what's missing.

Content Summarisation & Remixing

Need a quick summary of a long technical article for an email? Or a simplified version for a customer? Our AI can take your polished knowledge article and generate different versions for different audiences, saving you loads of time on re-writing.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Knowledge Content Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 13 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Knowledge Content Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles in Knowledge Management

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here are highly transferable. Knowledge Management is a growing field across many industries, so you could move into similar roles in tech, finance, healthcare, or even government. The principles of organising and sharing information effectively are universal.
