Temporary/Part Time Position: Content Migration Specialist (Flexible Hours)
Overview:
We are seeking a temporary content migration specialist to help us consolidate and reorganize technical documentation for our website, which is built and managed using Madcap Flare. This is a short-term contract role anticipated to be a few weeks of focused work.
Duties & Responsibilities
1. Content Analysis & Inventory
• Audit and quantify all documentation files across several existing Madcap Flare projects.
• Current volume: Approximately 4,000 topic files (may be referenced in multiple locations).
• Document the current file formats (Markdown, PDF, Word, HTML, etc.) and assess compatibility with Flare.
2. Documentation Consolidation
• Merge multiple Flare projects into a single master Flare project.
• Update and correct internal links throughout the files to reflect the new organizational structure.
3. Reformatting & Integration
• Ensure documentation is properly formatted to align with website navigation, search, and custom styling requirements.
• Adapt any non-Flare formats for consistency within the project.
4. Technical Implementation
• Write scripts or custom code (e.g., using Flare’s APIs, macros, or batch operations) to:
• Reorganize files,
• Mass-edit internal links and references,
• Remove duplication.
• Make use of Madcap Flare’s existing features and extend with custom solutions where needed.
5. Collaboration & Reporting
• Join brief weekly meetings (1–2 hours/week) with the internal team to set priorities, clarify requirements, and review work-in-progress.
• Communicate proactively about challenges, dependencies, or areas needing attention.
6. Handoff & Documentation
• Document process, scripts/tools developed, and provide handover materials for ongoing maintenance by internal staff.
Project Details
• Platform: Madcap Flare (no migration to other CMS).
• Scope: One-off project; not ongoing. Expected duration is several weeks.
• Collaboration: Limited — brief weekly syncs with internal team.
• Primary Focus: Technical consolidation, link-fixing, and content reorganization — not design/marketing content.
• Maintainer: Internal team will handle post-migration maintenance.
