  • Shape content models and taxonomies that support machine learning applications.
  • Ensure ethical and inclusive language in AI-generated content.
  • Apply Contentful experience to provide CMS governance and optimization perspectives.
  • Help define workflows, metadata standards, and lifecycle practices to drive scalability.
  • Have a strong grasp of content type development and implementation.

Requirements

  • 8-10+ years in UX writing, content design, or related fields.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across disciplines.

  • Deep understanding of AI/ML concepts and their application in UX.
  • Experience with enterprise headless CMSs (such as Contentful) and content models.
  • Strong grasp of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
  • Data fluency: able to interpret analytics and user research to inform content.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with prompt engineering and generative AI tools.
  • Familiarity with SEO/AEO best practices and strategies.
