Description

Our ambition, your journey. 

DLA Piper is a global law firm, where innovation and challenging the status quo are the vital spark to how we think and what we do. Together, we create exceptional experiences, outcomes and growth for our clients and people. 

DLA Piper is currently on its transitional journey, embracing change, investing in and driving modern initiatives, including an exciting transformation programme within the HR function - EPIC, therefore we are looking to recruit a well versed HR Knowledge and Content Specialist to join the programme.

• Create content and knowledge articles

• Review and reshape existing content

• Find ways to illustrate articles with imagery, charts and iconography

All content will need to meet our guidelines and quality standards, as well as the needs of different audiences (personas/roles/jurisdictions), with the over-arching goal of maximising the ability of users to resolve their questions using HR knowledge and without having to access the HR service desk or specialist support.

• Proof-reading and content editing

• Publish/upload Knowledge on ServiceNow using the required templates and process steps across all knowledge bases

• Categorise and tag content in a logical way which will make content easily accessible and searchable to ensure maximum use
