About The Position

Overview: The Knowledge Manager owns the structure, quality, and governance of the organization’s knowledge base and resource ecosystem. This role is responsible for transforming a large, complex, and fragmented body of content into a trusted, scalable, and intuitive knowledge system. Beyond day-to-day governance, the Knowledge Manager contributes to the development of knowledge standards, processes, and long-term direction. This position requires strong ownership, analytical rigor, and the ability to synthesize complexity into clear, usable systems that support operational effectiveness. Role Scope & Expectations: This role is designed for a knowledge professional who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, taking ownership, and building structure within complex information environments. The Knowledge Manager is expected to balance hands-on knowledge governance with strategic stewardship of the organization’s knowledge ecosystem. While this position includes day-to-day management of knowledge assets, it is not a purely administrative or maintenance-focused role. The Knowledge Manager is expected to proactively identify gaps and risks, define standards and processes, synthesize large volumes of information into usable systems, and ensure knowledge is accurate, scalable, and prepared to support future AI-assisted tools and automation.
