RESPEC is 100% employee-owned, which means we take ownership of every challenge. Here, your ideas drive real solutions. Since 1969, we’ve tackled complex challenges in energy transition, infrastructure resilience, digital transformation, and sustainability.\nAt RESPEC, you’ll work alongside clients to take on critical problems. Depending on your expertise, you might design infrastructure in remote locations, develop renewable energy solutions for global projects, or apply data-driven technology to improve mining and water systems.\nWe bring deep technical knowledge, real-world experience, and a commitment to work that matters. If you're looking for a place where your contributions have real impact, you’ll fit right in.\nWe do not accept unsolicited resumes from third-party recruiters.\n RESPEC is seeking a Content Strategist that will spearhead the digital content strategy, taxonomy architecture, governance frameworks, migration planning, and staff enablement initiatives required to ensure the new GeoInfo web presence is operationally sustainable for the agency long after initial launch. Operating at the intersection of business goals and technical execution, this role collaborates closely with RESPEC’s delivery team, the agency’s program directors, scientific subject matter experts, and product managers to establish standardized editorial policies, repeatable content models, and actionable training resources.\nThis role is strategically front-loaded to align the sitemap, taxonomy hierarchies, structured content schemas (supporting Drupal and Wagtail paradigms), metadata taxonomies, and migration criteria prior to active development. While RESPEC provides foundational governance frameworks and tagging methodologies, the Content Strategist works side-by-side with the agency’s program personnel to empower them to classify, refine, and maintain their specialized domain content effectively.\nResponsibilities:\nEstablish comprehensive, institutional content standards governing how web assets are authored, peer-reviewed, maintained, classified, tagged, and retired across departments.\nDefine and diagram end-to-end editorial workflows, establishing distinct stages for drafting, review, compliance approval, publication, periodic revision, and archiving.\nDirect the planning and structural design of organizational taxonomies, controlled vocabularies, metadata schemas, and structured CMS component types.\nAuthor a practical, modular Content Management Handbook / Playbook that incorporates role-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) and clear, illustrated workflow diagrams.\nDevelop an actionable, phase-based Content Migration Plan outlining content inventory criteria, deduplication, semantic cleanup, static asset mapping, and specialized Centennial milestone planning.\nSupport data ingestion and inventory audits to map legacy GeoInfo content, legacy databases, and document libraries smoothly into the target system architecture.\nGuide hands-on content optimization and structural rewriting for high-visibility landing destinations, including the main homepage, core research portals, and Centennial celebration features.\nEstablish multi-tier editorial permission structures and role matrices tailored to the agency’s operational divisions and research groups.\nAdvise executive and technical leadership on ongoing operational staffing models, resource allocation, and organizational capacity required for post-launch content governance.\nProduce a comprehensive, user-friendly CMS Training Manual and plan, conduct, and record a live training curriculum for the agency’s content authors and editors.\nTime Required\nThis is structured as a part-time engagement with significant front-loaded allocation during the initial discovery, architecture, and governance phases (November 2026 - March 2027). Involvement transitions to a steady advisory and enablement posture in later implementation cycles to provide migration oversight, review newly modeled content, conduct training sessions, and validate launch readiness.\n Requirements:\n7-10 years of professional content strategy experience, including demonstrated leadership in content governance, editorial operations, taxonomy/metadata architecture, and large-scale migration planning for enterprise digital ecosystems.\nProven success crafting comprehensive digital content strategies for large, content-rich, multi-layered websites or distributed institutional platforms.\nAdvanced expertise in content governance modeling, editorial lifecycle design, granular permissions structures, and decentralized publishing operations.\nExtensive experience conducting quantitative and qualitative content audits, formulating structured migration plans, developing taxonomies, and designing modular content types for modern CMS platforms (such as Drupal or Wagtail).\nDemonstrated ability to translate dense, scientific, or highly technical subject matter into streamlined, audience-focused digital content models and practical editorial guidelines.\nStrong portfolio of authoring polished, user-centered governance artifacts, including operational playbooks, SOPs, editorial style guides, and staff-facing documentation.\nExceptional facilitation, interview, and interpersonal communication skills, with a track record of bridging technical developers, product owners, and academic/scientific subject matter experts.\nPrior experience supporting public-sector, higher education, scientific research, data-intensive, or state/federal agency web transformation projects is preferred.\nPreferred:\nNew Mexico residents willing to travel on-site to Socorro, NM, up to 2 times during the project lifecycle.\nDirect experience working within Higher Education, state agencies, or scientific/engineering research institutions.\n All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.\nAll your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6043,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
