• Assist with updating and maintaining project management templates and workflows in Workfront.
• Support content governance initiatives including naming conventions, taxonomy, and process documentation.
• Assist with organizing and tagging assets in our content library or CMS.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to gather information and support content operations projects.
• Assist with light research, content briefs, or copywriting as needed.

Qualifications:

• Workfront, Asana, or other project management tool experience preferred.
• Familiarity with content management systems or digital asset management tools is a plus.
• Experience working with major generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini) and openness to experimenting with AI applications specific to content, marketing, and workflow automation is a plus.
• Experience in a role or project requiring analytical problem solving and structured thinking.
• Able to work effectively with a high tolerance for ambiguity within fast changing environments.
• Microsoft Office software suite experience (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
