Document Management Specialists

Document management specialists advance by taking on more projects and working with more departments and employees within companies. After several years of experience successfully managing documents and records for companies, specialists may be promoted to senior management roles, which entail more supervisory than administrative duties. Those with a bachelor's degree may pursue a master's degree in business management, information technology, or other specialization to advance their careers. Some may leave their full-time jobs to start their own consulting firms. They may also increase their involvement in professional associations, sharing their expertise in the document management field by speaking at trade conferences and teaching workshops.
