Berlin Brands Group (BBG) has been designing, producing, and selling products in the areas of kitchen appliances, garden & living, sports and consumer electronics since 2005 and is now one of Europe’s largest digital companies including around 550 employees around the globe. We love brands and products! 

As a Technical Writing Manager (f/m/x), you will own the end-to-end development of our product manuals—clear, multilingual, and safety-compliant instruction guides that elevate the user experience across our global appliance portfolio. You will directly produce manuals for complex or flagship products. Working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Creative teams, you’ll define and drive documentation standards that ensure accuracy, brand alignment, and regulatory compliance. 

 What you will do:  
  • Lead the design and authorship of instruction manuals with a focus on accuracy, visual clarity, and consumer-friendliness
  • Create and manage reusable content components (DITA or modular structure) to streamline documentation across product families
  • Establish and enforce editorial standards based on Klarstein’s voice and tone, EU compliance requirements, and best practices in structured writing
  • Act as primary point of contact for all manual-related queries; coordinate across Design, Product Management, QA/Legal, and Localization
  • Guarantee that all manuals meet CE, EN 82079-1, WEEE, RoHS and other EU directives for user safety and labeling
  • Own the documentation QA process, including content verification, usability testing, translation reviews, and version control
  • Monitor and report on documentation KPIs (delivery timeliness, support ticket rate, translation quality, reuse rate)
 What we are looking for:  
  • 2-3+ years in technical writing for hardware or consumer goods 
  • Strong portfolio of consumer-facing manuals in multiple languages 
  • Familiarity with CE documentation requirements and international safety standards 
  • Excellent command of English (written and spoken); German and additional EU languages are a strong plus 
  • Proficient in layout/DTP tools incl. at least one of these tools: Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker or Illustrator
  • Experience working with translators, content reuse frameworks, and multilingual publishing workflows 
  • Clear, structured writing style with a passion for clarity, user focus, and technical precision 
 What we offer: 
  • 100% remote work possible if you live in a German city other than Berlin
  • If you live in Berlin, we offer a flexible and hybrid working model with up to 2 days of home office per week
  • Modern office in the heart of Berlin (Friedrichshain) with a view of the Spree
  • Ability to work up to 4 weeks per year from abroad
  • Public transport ticket grant, 30% discount on our products and 40% employer's contribution to the company pension plan
  • Active promotion of your development, e.g. through continuous performance feedback, language courses, further training and mental health coaching by the Fürstenberg Institute
  • Daily fresh fruits and vegetables as well as drinks and various health offers, e.g. physiotherapy and sport events
  • Support by a team of highly skilled and dedicated colleagues who celebrate successes together at numerous company events
