Looks like a role that could be done by a technical writer (TW). I've been a TW for 9 years and will share some tips on hiring TWs:
* Best job boards (in terms of highest probability of finding qualified applicants) are r/technicalwriting and https://jobs.writethedocs.org https://jobs.writethedocs.org
* Get your company docs culture in order. TWs are sick of company cultures where they have to defend the importance of docs and there are enough quality companies out there now that respect docs (Stripe, etc) where we no longer feel this has to be part of our job. In other words high-quality TWs will sniff out your unhealthy docs culture through interview questions and will quickly pass you up.
* Upwork has high-quality TWs! You'll need to filter a lot to find them though. A very talented TW that I eventually hired got their start on Upwork. In general it's a great place to recruit entry-level TWs that might work very hard and deliver huge value.
