• Monitor AI performance and content quality metrics; implement corrective actions
• Translate complex regulatory and business requirements into clear content guidelines and operational frameworks
• Work closely with the Director of Content on tactical oversight and strategic initiatives

You Have:

• 7+ years in content management strategy, content operations, technical content architecture, or content analysis
• 3+ years with AI/GenAI experience, specifically in heavily regulated industries (government, financial services, healthcare)
• Proven experience with content governance, quality assurance, and compliance
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, CMS platforms, and understanding of taxonomy & metadata
• Technical content strategy background (NOT copywriting or editorial calendar experience)
