Full Time

Bathing Brands is a well-established, growing organization in the sauna, steam, and experiential bathing space. We don’t just build products—we make them easy to understand, install, and enjoy, and that starts with clear, well‑crafted documentation.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Technical Writer to take the lead on the written content behind our products throughout their lifecycle.

Position Summary
This role follows a hybrid schedule based out of our Wheeling, IL office and is not a fully remote position.

The Technical Writer creates, maintains, and improves clear, accurate, and user-friendly technical documentation for Bathing Brands products. This role supports product launches by developing installation manuals (IOMs) and related print materials using information gathered from cross‑functional partners.

This role will serve as the primary technical writing resource on the team, working closely with internal partners rather than operating as a separate documentation function.

The position works closely with Product Design, Engineering, Marketing, and Operations to help ensure documentation is complete, consistent, and aligned with product launch timelines.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys hands‑on documentation work and is continuing to build their technical writing experience.

Required Qualifications

2+ years of experience in technical writing, preferably in manufacturing, consumer products, or a related field

Ability to translate technical information into clear, concise documentation

Strong written communication and editing skills with attention to detail

Experience working with cross‑functional teams and subject matter experts
