Role Summary

Sophos is seeking a Senior Manager, Product Documentation to join our Digital Customer Experience (DCX) team – the function responsible for the programs, content, and digital experiences that help customers succeed at scale. Our team spans product documentation, customer journeys, communications, technical video content, community, knowledge base, and localization, and this role leads the documentation discipline.

You will own the documentation strategy, standards, and team capabilities that translate complex cybersecurity products into clear, trustworthy, and consistently excellent content. This is a senior leadership role with direct team management responsibility, significant cross-functional influence, and full ownership of documentation quality and roadmap.

This is a player-coach role. While your primary focus is team leadership, strategy, and stakeholder management, you bring enough hands-on expertise to contribute directly to documentation work when capacity allows – and your credibility with the team is grounded in genuine craft knowledge, not just organizational authority.

This role is ideal for an experienced documentation leader who combines strong editorial judgment with operational discipline, a genuine curiosity about AI-assisted content workflows, and the credibility to influence product, engineering, and customer success partners at a senior level.

This role reports to the Senior Director, Digital Customer Experience.

At Sophos, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives to fuel innovation. Research shows that candidates sometimes hesitate to apply if they don't check every box in a job description. We challenge that notion. Your unique experiences and skills might be exactly what we need to enhance our team. Don't let a checklist hold you back – we encourage you to apply.
