Technical Writer Freelance

Swan is Europe’s embedded banking specialist. We empower software companies to embed banking features like accounts, cards, and payments directly into their products, under their own brand.Swan processes over €1.5 billion in monthly transactions for more than 150 companies—like Pennylane, Indy, Agicap, Libeo, and Lucca. Founded in 2019, the company has received growth capital from leading investors such as Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Bpifrance and Eight Roads. Swan is a principal member of Mastercard and a licensed financial institution, regulated by the French banking authority (ACPR).

Many software companies already serve small businesses incredibly well: helping them send invoices, run payroll, manage inventory, and more. They’re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.

But when it comes to financial workflows, there’s still a gap. Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow, tracking payments, or reconciling accounts happen outside the software, across spreadsheets, email threads, banking portals.

It’s a missed opportunity. Business software shouldn’t just record financial activity — it should run it.

Swan is seeking a talented, fast-moving, and driven Technical Writer to join our Documentation team on a freelance basis. We're a team of ambitious individuals driven by clear communication and a passion for continuous improvement.

We tackle complex challenges collaboratively, and our team plays a crucial role in ensuring our partners, their users, and our internal teams can effortlessly leverage our cutting-edge product. Our team owns a diverse range of content, including technical product documentation, localised help centre articles, engaging partner e-learning, intuitive UX writing, and vital partner communications.

As a Technical Writer at Swan, you won't just write; you'll be a key enabler of our product's success, directly impacting user adoption and satisfaction.

As a Technical Writer, you will develop and refine a wide range of content across Swan's documentation ecosystem. You are a highly driven go-getter who moves fast, balances multiple project schedules, and proactively collaborates across teams to deliver a unified, user-centric content journey.

Your core responsibilities include:

Long Term: We always play the long game, whether it's to support our partners in their growth journey, or make tangible commitments to climate action.

Excellence: We are a team of experts who consistently go all out to create pixel-perfect banking services and exceed our partners' expectations— whatever it takes.
