ClearScore Technology Limited - Senior Knowledge Manager IC4
Requirements
• This role suits someone who brings order to complexity, is comfortable operating across functions without formal authority, and prefers doing the work to talking about it. The technical depth below can be grown into; the judgement and bias to action cannot. • Essential • Track record of materially improving how knowledge is organised, owned and maintained in a mid-to-large organisation, through a mix of strategy, standards and personally doing the work. • Strong writer and structurer. Able to turn messy source material into clear, accurate, well-structured content; able to design a taxonomy and an index that other people can actually use. • Comfortable with data governance concepts as applied to knowledge: ownership, custodianship, classification, access, lineage, retention. Aware of the obligations that come with operating in regulated markets. • Practical understanding of how modern AI tools consume organisational knowledge, including retrieval, structure, metadata, and permissions, enough to specify requirements clearly to Data, Engineering and the AI Lead, and to evaluate whether an AI answer is grounded in the right source. Not expected to be an ML engineer. • Fluent across the tooling landscape we use or might use: wikis, documentation systems, knowledge bases, document stores, search. • Able to influence without authority. Able to say no, hold a standard, run a federated network of maintainers, and stay constructive through it. • Bias to action. Happy to write the first version, fix the broken link, rename the file, restructure the folder, archive the page that nobody has opened in two years. • Desirable • Experience in financial services, fintech, or another regulated industry with meaningful documentation and records obligations. • Background that includes library or information science, technical writing, knowledge engineering, records management, or data governance. • Experience operating a federated model, with appointed experts and maintainers across functions, rather than relying on a central team. • Exposure to API-led businesses where knowledge is exposed to external systems as well as internal staff. • Direct experience of organisations going through the transition to AI-assisted retrieval, on the knowledge side rather than the platform side.
Responsibilities
• 1. Produce a roll out a written Knowledge Strategy: Endorsed by the executive, this should explicitly address how we do knowledge management in an AI-enabled world. • 1. Produce a roll out a written Knowledge Strategy: • 2. Separate knowledge from working documents: Define what counts as knowledge for the Group (content that is authoritative, owned, current and worth trusting) versus working documentation such as drafts, scratchpads, meeting notes and in-flight thinking, set a higher bar for publishing to the knowledge corpus and use LLM-based tools to help enforce it. • 2. Separate knowledge from working documents: • 3. Actively maintain the corpus: Set review cycles, ownership and freshness expectations across the corpus and run the rhythm that keeps them honest, surface and resolve stale, duplicate or contradictory content (using LLM-based tools to scan for out-of-date facts, flag contradictions and identify duplicates across thousands of pages), treat decommissioning as a first-class activity with a credible first pass at the existing estate inside six months, maintain clear lineage, and work with Legal, Risk and Compliance on access, retention and regulator-facing obligations across our markets. • 3. Actively maintain the corpus: • 4. Fill the gaps in critical domains: Map the domains across the Group, identify where authoritative knowledge is thin or missing, and work down a prioritised backlog through a federated maintainer model where each significant domain has a named expert and a named maintainer working to a standard you set and a cadence you run, sitting alongside teams during the moments that generate important knowledge such as launches, incidents, regulatory responses and M&A so the output is captured at the time, not retrofitted later. • 4. Fill the gaps in critical domains: • 5. Make compounding learning a habit: Establish a simple, mandatory pattern for every significant piece of work to leave behind structured learning (what was the question, what did we decide, what happened, what would we do differently), make that the default output of quarterly business reviews, retros, incident washups, experiments and major decisions rather than a separate task that gets dropped, and curate the resulting record so it is actually retrievable later by people and by AI tools. • 5. Make compounding learning a habit: • 6. Equip our knowledge for AI consumption: Be the person who understands, in practical terms, how modern AI systems consume organisational knowledge (retrieval, structure, metadata, permissions) and who specifies what good looks like from the knowledge side, working with the AI Lead, Chief Architect, Chief Data Officer and Engineering on how knowledge is indexed, retrieved and served into internal AI tools (you own the content and its structure; they own the systems that consume it). You are not expected to build production retrieval systems yourself, but to know enough to make sensible design decisions, write the requirements, and spot when an AI answer is grounded in the wrong source. • 6. Equip our knowledge for AI consumption: • 7. Roll your sleeves up: Author and maintain the Group's canonical knowledge index: the single place any employee or internal AI tool goes to find the authoritative source on a topic. • 7. Roll your sleeves up:
