Technical Information Architect

Job Title : Technical Information Architect

Location : Fridley, MN

Project Overview :

The PGBASE program is an embedded software development architecture and framework . It includes workflows, tools, processes, architecture documentation, and training content - all of which were originally housed in an internal Wiki that served as the single source of truth for engineering teams. This content was later migrated to SharePoint, but that migration broke internal references, link structures, and navigation, making the material difficult to use and explore.

We are now seeking a skilled temporary resource to migrate, restructure, and rebuild the PGBASE information in Confluence, creating a logically organized, easily navigable, and user-friendly technical knowledge base that accurately reflects the structure and relationships within the PGBASE ecosystem. After restructuring, this person will also develop training and "How-To" materials and provide orientation sessions or demonstrations to help users quickly adopt and effectively use the new Confluence site.

Primary Responsibilities :

• Review and map existing PGBASE content currently stored in SharePoint to understand its structure, relationships, and navigation gaps.
• Plan and execute the migration of PGBASE documentation from SharePoint to Confluence, ensuring preservation of version history, metadata, and relationships where possible.
• Design and implement a new information architecture in Confluence that improves discoverability, logical flow, and consistency across topics.
• Rebuild cross-linking between related content and re-establish navigation paths and reference integrity.
• Collaborate closely with internal subject matter experts (SMEs) to validate structure, taxonomy, and content placement.
• Standardize formatting and templates for technical documentation to ensure consistency and readability.
• Recommend and apply Confluence best practices for navigation menus, macros, labeling / tagging, and hierarchy organization.
• Create user-friendly training and How-To guides to help internal users navigate, update, and maintain content in the new Confluence environment.
• Provide training sessions, demonstrations, or short onboarding workshops for internal stakeholders to ensure smooth adoption of the new documentation system.
• Optionally, assist in light content editing to improve clarity, context, or user comprehension where needed.
