Triumph Enterprises is the prime on a new Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Information and Technology / Office of Information Security (OIT/OIS) program covering enterprise cybersecurity architecture and engineering. We are seeking a Configuration Management and Documentation Specialist / Technical Writer to own the program’s artifact library, the intake process that governs how work reaches the team, and configuration management of documentation across the program.
Program: VA Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering Services (COSE)
Location: Washington, DC (Remote) | Full-Time, Exempt | Contingent upon contract award
CERTIFICATION (REQUIRED)
This role requires a current DoD 8140/8570 Level III certification at the time of application. It is a Government requirement on a Federal contract and cannot be waived, substituted, or satisfied by a plan to certify later.
One or more of the following: Information Assurance Technician (IAT) III, Information Assurance Management (IAM) III, or Information Assurance System Architect and Engineer (IASAE) III. Commonly satisfied by CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+), CISSP, CISSP-ISSAP, CISSP-ISSEP, CCSP, CISM, CCISO, CISA, or GSLC. Certification is verified against the current DoD 8140 qualification matrix before an offer is extended. The credentials named above are those most commonly held; any other credential on the current matrix at the required level also qualifies.
Credentials that do not meet this requirement include Security+, Network+, CySA+, CEH, CRISC, ITIL, PMP, and technical writing certifications such as CPTC.
If you have the documentation and configuration management background and are working toward a qualifying credential, tell us where you are in the process. CompTIA SecurityX is the most accessible of the qualifying certifications: unlike CISSP, its experience requirement is recommended rather than mandatory, so it can be attempted without a five-year paid-experience qualification period.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is the seat that keeps the program legible. Eight key personnel produce architecture, engineering, risk and AI work across nine task areas; this role turns that output into an organized, findable, current body of documentation, and owns the front door through which new work arrives. It is a writing job and a process job in equal measure, and it starts producing in week one.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build and continuously maintain the program Artifact Library.
- Author the COSE Intake Process SOP, including the RACI matrix and workflow diagram, and the accompanying Intake Workflow Configuration Documentation.
- Produce the Stakeholder Training Guide.
- Support the Program Manager on recurring reporting products — the Weekly Progress Report, Quad Chart and Leadership Briefing Package each Friday, the monthly reports, the Contractor Project Management Plan, and the staff roster products.
- Perform configuration management of documentation and artifacts across the program, including version control, naming conventions, and change history.
- Edit engineering and security content into material a non-engineer Government stakeholder can read and act on.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- A current Level III certification as described above.
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience.
- Bachelor’s degree. A master’s does not substitute for the experience minimum on this position. Degrees earned outside the United States require a NACES-member equivalency evaluation.
- Technical writing for a Federal customer, including standard operating procedures and process documentation.
- Configuration management of documentation and artifacts across a program.
- Experience building and running an intake or work-request process with a defined RACI.
PREFERRED
- Knowledge management platform experience, particularly SharePoint or Confluence.
- Section 508 accessibility conformance.
- Prior VA documentation work.
SUITABILITY
This position requires a Tier 4 / High Risk Public Trust background investigation. A Tier 4 investigation is adjudicated for suitability and fitness and is not a security clearance. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain and maintain the investigation, VA systems access, and PIV credentialing. No work may begin until an interim determination is received.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Travel is expected to be 0-10%. This position is contingent upon contract award; no offer of employment will be extended before award is made.
Triumph Enterprises, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any characteristic protected by law.

Tips for Your Remote Documentation Specialist Job Search
Build a portfolio of real published docs
Remote employers can't observe your daily work, so your portfolio does the talking. Include technical guides, API references, or structured style guides you've created or contributed to. Open-source documentation contributions are strong evidence of output quality.
Prove async communication in your application
Remote documentation roles require clear written communication without real-time back-and-forth. Write a cover message that mirrors the precision and structure of good documentation. Employers evaluating remote candidates treat your application materials as a live writing sample.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote documentation specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your background and apply directly. Early applicants to fresh remote postings get a meaningful advantage before competition builds.
Signal proficiency with remote documentation tools
Name the specific tools you use throughout your resume and any application materials. Confluence, MadCap Flare, GitHub, Markdown editors, and content management systems are common in remote documentation workflows. Employers filter for tool familiarity when they can't train in person.
Remote Documentation Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote documentation specialist job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed product teams, which hire documentation specialists without a local presence requirement. Remote employers screen heavily for async communication skills, the ability to self-manage deadlines, and demonstrated proficiency with tools like Confluence, Markdown, and version control systems. A portfolio of published docs, style guides, or API references gives you a clear edge over candidates without visible work samples.
Which companies hire remote documentation specialists?
Companies hiring remote documentation specialists right now include UASI, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Pinnacle Home Care, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software firms, distributed SaaS teams, and healthcare technology companies make up a large share of consistent remote demand for this role.
Can you get a remote documentation specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person onboarding or oversight. Open-source project contributions, volunteer documentation work, and a self-built writing portfolio can substitute for paid experience. Smaller remote-first startups and tech companies are the most likely to give early-career candidates a first opportunity.
Do you need a degree for remote documentation specialist jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh a strong writing portfolio, demonstrated tool proficiency, and domain knowledge over formal credentials. A degree in English, technical communication, or a related field helps, but candidates who can show polished published documentation, clear style guides, or structured API references routinely compete for remote roles alongside degree holders.
Which industries hire the most remote documentation specialists?
Most remote documentation specialist openings sit in Healthcare & Medical Services, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, and Education, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed product and engineering teams that need documentation specialists who can collaborate entirely in writing and keep content current without being on-site.
