Job summary

This role is suitable for candidates with experience of content migration and management, in the context of wider digital transformation.

The Content Transition Manager will join NS&I’s Design and Validation team at the beginning of a transition from legacy systems to a new digital platform that will support experiences across web and mobile. The appointed person will be responsible for managing the migration of current content, and designing and implementing new content management processes and workflows that support multi-channel publishing.

The Content Transition Manager will work with Product Owners, the Customer Communications and Content team, the Transition team, and external suppliers to develop a migration plan identifying the best means of migrating content, roles and responsibilities to support the plan, and prioritised areas where improvement or changes are needed to support the new customer experience and ways of working.
