Job description

We are seeking a Digital Content Project Specialist to support a large-scale hotel website content migration initiative. This individual will help migrate and build hotel property websites within a new content management platform while ensuring content meets established brand standards, provides a strong user experience, and follows SEO best practices.

This is a hands‑on digital content role combining content management, website production, quality assurance, and project coordination. The specialist will work closely with a Project Manager and Digital Content Operations leadership while supporting hotel properties throughout the migration process.

The ideal candidate has 1–2+ years of digital or website content experience, hands‑on exposure to a CMS, and strong attention to detail. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) experience is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the day‑to‑day execution of a large‑scale website content migration project.
• Build and update hotel property websites within a new CMS/platform.
• Complete digital content tasks and workflows according to established project timelines and priorities.
• Migrate, enter, format, review, and publish website content within the CMS.
• Ensure website content adheres to established brand standards and guidelines.
• Create and optimize digital content while maintaining SEO best practices.
• Review website pages for content accuracy, consistency, formatting, usability, and overall quality.
• Collaborate with project leadership and internal stakeholders to resolve content issues and keep migration activities moving forward.
• Maintain project calendars and track upcoming digital content projects, deliverables, and deadlines.
• Balance assigned project work with independent execution in the CMS.
• Support hotel properties throughout the website migration process.

Required Qualifications

• 1–2+ years of professional experience in digital content, website management, digital marketing, or a related field.
• Hands‑on experience working within a Content Management System (CMS).
• Understanding of SEO fundamentals and digital content best practices.
• Strong writing, editing, proofreading, and content‑quality skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain consistency across a high volume of website content.
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills with the ability to manage deadlines and multiple assignments.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a project‑based environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
• Experience with website migrations, redesigns, or large‑scale content updates.
• Basic knowledge of HTML.
• Understanding of website usability and conversion optimization.
• Experience working within established brand standards or content guidelines.
• Previous experience supporting multiple websites, locations, brands, or business units.
• Hospitality, travel, e‑commerce, or other consumer‑facing digital experience is a plus.

Education

Bachelor’s degree preferred, particularly in English, Journalism, Communications, Marketing, or a related discipline.

Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidate will be someone who is comfortable working directly inside a CMS and building/updating web pages, rather than someone whose experience is primarily social media or high‑level content strategy. They should be detail‑oriented, comfortable working through a high volume of content, understand basic SEO principles, and be able to follow established brand standards while keeping migration tasks on schedule.
