We’re looking for a CMS Migration Specialist who enjoys solving content problems at scale — not one page at a time. This role is about taking large, often messy sets of content and figuring out how to move, structure, and transform them efficiently using the right combination of CMS tools, automation, and technical problem-solving.
You’ll work closely with our strategy and development teams to migrate and structure content across platforms (primarily Drupal), ensuring it is accurate, well-organized, and ready to perform.
If your instinct when faced with repetitive work is to step back, identify patterns, and build a smarter system instead of doing it manually, you’ll do well here.
You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be comfortable working with structured data, learning technical tools, and thinking logically about how systems fit together.
What you'll do
- Plan and execute content migrations into CMS platforms (primarily Drupal)
- Analyze source content and define structured approaches to importing and organizing it
- Configure and work with tools (e.g., feeds, importers, APIs, scripts, or AI tools) to automate content migration wherever possible — for example, transforming and importing structured data from spreadsheets or exports into CMS content types, rather than entering content manually
- Collaborate with developers and strategists to align content structure with CMS data models (content types, fields, relationships)
- Validate and QA migrated content to ensure accuracy and completeness
- Troubleshoot migration issues by investigating data structure, formatting, and system behavior
- Continuously improve workflows to make migrations faster, more reliable, and less manual
What we're looking for
- Familiarity with CMS content architecture - content types, fields, views, and taxonomies - either through hands-on CMS configuration work or from front-end development experience.
- Comfort working with structured data and technical tools (e.g., spreadsheets, JSON, feeds, APIs, or similar)
- Comfort learning and using new tools (including AI and no-code tools)
- A strong instinct to automate repetitive tasks and improve systems, rather than relying on manual work.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to document your work clearly for both internal and external audiences.
- You don’t need formal technical training, but you should naturally gravitate toward tools, systems, and logical problem-solving.
- 1–4 years of relevant experience working with data or content migration
- Computer Science, Engineering, IT degree or equivalent indicating aptitude towards automation and programmatic thinking
Nice to have
- Experience where you've taken ownership of improving processes or building more efficient ways of working.
- Experience with Drupal content configurations, specifically content types, fields, displays and views.
- Familiarity with low- or no-code automation and migration tools (Drupal Feeds and ECAs, spreadsheet applications, DYNO Mapper, Screaming Frog, Make.com, Zapier, etc.)
- Public sector or government web project experience.
What we offer
- Permanent, full-time employment ideally starting in May 2026
- Starting salary of $60,000 to $76,000, commensurate with experience
- Three weeks of paid vacation to start
- Health benefits starting after three months
- Hybrid work model
- First three months: in-office at least four days per week
- After three months: in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays at minimum
- See sidebar for some perks of working at Upanup
