Maybe, but he seems to be a department of one. (Some managers do "do.") One
might also infer that he is managing the technical communication content.

And besides, it was just a suggestion. More importantly, I urge him to avoid
having the term "specialist" in his job title as it suggests a less
complicated/advanced position than the one he is actually holding.
