Job summary

The ideal candidate has 1–3+ years in content operations, CMS experience (Contentful preferred), and meticulous attention to metadata and QA. You will ensure timely, accurate publishing in line with our mission and faith statement.

Qualifications

• 1–3+ years in content operations, editorial coordination, publishing, or digital production.
• Experience with Contentful or another CMS; experience managing user permissions is a plus.
• Ability to work in a hybrid environment.
• Fully aligned with Open the Bible’s mission and Statement of Faith.

• Be the single point of contact and own 'where's this content?' and 'when's it live?'.
• Run approvals and quality assurance by sending preview links for sign-off when needed, and catching broken links, missing fields, and formatting issues before anything goes live.
• Identify problems and propose improvements (you’ll own Contentful operationally, but not architecturally).
• Improve the process by identifying weak spots/friction in content workflows and fix it — or propose how to fix it. (Ex: better request formats, clearer status visibility, less manual back-and-forth.)
• Identify where Contentful, custom UIs, or integrations could do more of the work, and bring recommendations to the development team.
• Work with custom UIs built on Contentful for things like devotionals, campaigns, and audio upload.
