Senior Technical Writer

Your Team Responsibilities

At MSCI, we help the world’s leading investors turn data into insights—and insights into action. Our Analytics team plays a central role in delivering that mission, delivering powerful tools that help clients understand risk, performance, and the ever-changing dynamics of global markets.

We’re looking for a Technical Writer who thrives on making the complex feel simple. In this role, you’ll be the person who translates deep technical detail—think risk analytics, risk models, performance attribution and APIs—into documentation that’s clear, engaging and actionable. You’ll work alongside product managers, engineers and client-facing teams to understand our tools from the inside out, and then tell their story in a way that’s easy to follow—creating clear, concise and accurate content for internal and external users.

If you love untangling complex systems, have a knack for breaking things down into digestible steps and care deeply about asking the right questions, and crafting content that guides, educates and empowers—this is your opportunity to do that at scale.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Create, update and maintain comprehensive product documentation including:
  • Product guides
  • API guides
  • Support pages
  • Client communication
• Gather technical information from SMEs, planning meetings and product specs.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear and user-friendly content for diverse audiences.
• Manage documentation projects independently, including timelines and stakeholder communication.
• Champion consistency and clarity across all content, enforcing internal style guides, writing standards and documentation best practices.
• Contribute to content strategy, identify gaps, improve workflows and rethink how we communicate technical value to our users.
  
• Audit, update and structure our documentation to support AI integration projects.

Your skills and experience that will help you excel

• Bachelor's degree in English, Technical Communication, Computer Science or a related field.
• Minimum 6 years of experience creating, managing and publishing clear, concise and comprehensive documentation for software products.
• Familiarity with financial analytics, risk and performance attribution, ESG or investment decision support tools a plus.
• Strong writing, editing, and communication skills with a sharp eye for detail and structure.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, distributed team environment.
• Strong interpersonal skills to work cross-functionally with product managers, developers, quantitative researchers and UX/UI designers.
