Haven TechnologiesTechnical Writer
Jan. 2019 - Aug. 2023Greater New York City AreaWhen I started at Haven in 2019, we were still Haven Life (HL), the direct-to-consumer life insurance agency backed and wholly owned by Mass Mutual. In the time I've been there, the company has transitioned to Haven Technologies (HT), a SaaS InsurTech company delivering unique insurance industry technology to other carriers. While we were Haven Life, my primary responsibilities were to work with the other technical writer to produce and maintain internal documentation for the benefit of our development teams, including product owners, developers, designers, and QA / QE. I also participated in a company innovation challenge, where my team made it to the final round. I acted as a product owner / project manager for our team. I also did many of our team's company wide presentations. As part of our transition to HT, I drove the transition for the documentation team to write external documentation, including: - Implementing a division in documentation responsibilities between me and the other writer for external SaaS documentation. - Creating and implementing a plan to discover and onboard a new authoring tool (Paligo). - Planning and project managing the creation of external user documentation for an actuarial product, our metadata, an application builder tool, our policy administration product builder, and our underwriting rules management tool. - Planning and partly implementing our new externally facing documentation publication and delivery. The rest of this project was moved to a product owner, but I remained one of the stakeholders.
- Interfacing with SaaS product owners, designers, and developers on documentation and timelines. - Working closely with a documentation and training team in our revenue organization. Our team was moved to the Revenue organization. We hired a new manager, and I participated in that process by creating hiring exercises. Participation in:
