About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Help define and implement the structured content strategy for the Authentic Work Platform — a complex, evolving digital environment that serves both students and professionals.
Work across systems like Drupal and XDocs to design content models, metadata, and authoring frameworks that enable reuse, editorial efficiency, and scalable content delivery.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams to connect structured content with user-facing features, support decoupled rendering, and drive consistency across print and digital experiences.
Design models, taxonomies, and workflows that are structured, scalable, and sustainable.
Design and document structured content models and metadata frameworks that support scalable content creation, reuse, and maintainability — enabling delivery of new features while improving author workflows and editorial governance.
Provide technical leadership to engineering partners by guiding how structured content is consumed, rendered, and scaled across new UIs — including coaching team members on content APIs, prototyping solutions, and aligning content with front-end needs.
Lead efforts to integrate content consistently across print and digital workflows, improving how complex content is modeled, tagged, and delivered to ensure a unified user experience.
Contribute to the long-term content architecture strategy for the Authentic Work Platform, applying systems thinking and collaborating across disciplines to align content infrastructure with product and user goals.

Technical fluency in working with structured content — including reading and debugging delivery APIs, scripting transformations, and analyzing markup or metadata to support modeling decisions
Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex content systems clearly using diagrams, documentation, or data
A systems thinker who applies architectural approaches to content design for scalability, maintainability, and reuse
Collaborative mindset with strong influencing and negotiation skills across cross-functional teams
A self-starter who enjoys untangling complexity, learning new tools, and driving clarity in ambiguous systems
Motivation to support educational and career opportunities for students through thoughtful, scalable content design
Designing structured content systems for both author usability and machine readability — balancing editorial workflows with flexible, front-end rendering
Leading modernization efforts such as content system migrations, governance improvements, or large-scale model redesigns
Collaborating with engineers on shared tooling (e.g., reusable components, content validation, API integration) to streamline implementation
Applying content architecture to support personalization, AI-readiness, or improved search and findability across platforms
Bachelor’s degree in a related field (e.g., technical communication, information science, computer science) and 4–6 years of experience working with structured content systems — or equivalent experience in a content engineering role.
The ability to travel 3-5 times a year to College Board offices or on behalf of College Board business.
