About the Role

Apple FCU's public website is the credit union's highest-traffic, highest-stakes member touchpoint — where members and prospective members research rates, compare products, and start applications. The Web Content Strategist owns the words, structure, and organization of that experience: writing and maintaining content in Umbraco CMS that is clear, on-brand, and optimized to perform in both traditional search (SEO) and AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (AEO).

This role sits at the intersection of financial marketing, content strategy, and technical SEO/AEO practice.

• Implement and maintain structured data (schema.org markup: Organization, FAQPage, FinancialProduct/LoanOrCredit) across content types
• Monitor Apple FCU's presence and accuracy in AI-generated answers to common member questions, flagging gaps or misrepresentations

Performance & Collaboration

• Use Data Studio, PowerBI and web analytics to track content performance and identify pages that need revision or expansion
• Maintain site compliance to keep loan, rate, and account content aligned with NCUA and regulatory disclosure requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, digital media or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 3+ years of experience in web content writing, digital content strategy, or content marketing, ideally in financial services, banking, or another regulated industry
• Hands-on experience with a CMS platform (Umbraco strongly preferred; experience with a comparable structured CMS will be considered)
• Demonstrated understanding of SEO fundamentals: on-page optimization, metadata, internal linking, and keyword research
• Excellent, precise writing and editing skills, with the ability to make technical/financial information clear and member-friendly

Preferred Qualifications
