• UX, Information Architecture & Content Strategy
• Collaborate with UX/UI designers on sitemaps, wireframes, templates, and user journeys.
• Lead content audits and map existing content to the new site structure.
• Support content rewriting standards, ensuring accuracy, consistency, accessibility, and appropriate tone.
• Ensure adherence to branding, accessibility, and design guidelines.
• Content Migration & Technical Integration
• Oversee structured migration of content, including reports, working papers, events, commentaries, videos, and archival materials.
• Plan and execute URL mapping, metadata management, taxonomy, and SEO preservation.
• Manage technical integrations such as analytics, search, mailing lists and video hosting platforms.
• Coordinate with IT on hosting, DNS configuration, security controls, backups, and disaster recovery planning.
• Quality Assurance, Testing & Launch
• Develop and manage User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and regression testing plans.
• Track defects through resolution and ensure compliance with WCAG, security, and performance standards.
• Lead launch preparations, including go-live cutover, redirects, and stakeholder communications.
• Provide immediate post-launch support and optimisation.
• Post-Launch Enhancements & Digital Capability Building
• Establish governance for ongoing content updates and website maintenance.
• Monitor metrics, analytics dashboards, and user feedback to drive continuous improvement.
