About the project

We're delivering a full website redevelopment for a major Australian membership organisation. The website covers a national hub plus eight state and territory branch sites on Umbraco 14+. You'll be joining the project at the migration phase, when content is being moved from the legacy Squiz Matrix CMS into the new Umbraco platform.

What you'll do

• Migrate approximately 5,000 URLs of content from Squiz Matrix into Umbraco according to Keep / Rewrite / Delete / Archive classifications already defined by the content team.
• Apply correct Umbraco document types, metadata, tagging, and member access tiers to each content item.
• Format and clean content within the CMS — fix headings, link structures, image placement, and embedded media.
• Re-link images and re-create asset references where source URLs change in the new structure.
• Support redirect mapping by flagging URL changes to the SEO lead.
• Run editorial QA against the original source pages and log any content gaps or rewrite needs.
• Track migration progress in ClickUp against an agreed daily throughput target.
• Pair with the website QA team to fix content-related issues found during testing.

Must have

• Minimum 2 years professional content migration or content production experience.
• Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise CMS (Umbraco, Sitecore, Drupal, WordPress, Squiz, AEM, Kentico, or similar).
• Strong attention to detail; comfortable with high-volume, repetitive production work and consistent daily throughput targets.
• Comfortable with HTML and basic CSS for cleaning legacy content.
• Strong written English; able to spot formatting, copy, and metadata issues during migration.
• Comfortable working in a structured ticketing workflow (ClickUp, Jira, Asana, or similar).
• Reliable internet connection and a quiet, professional remote work setup.

Nice to have

• Direct Umbraco experience.
• Experience with Squiz Matrix as a source CMS.
• Familiarity with Screaming Frog crawl outputs and URL mapping.
• Experience working on multi-site or multi-tenant content architectures.
• Familiarity with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards (alt text, heading hierarchy, link descriptions).
• Prior experience working on Australian-client projects (familiarity with AEST working patterns and Australian English).

Why this role

• Clear, focused 6-week engagement — well-defined scope, clear daily targets, no scope creep.
• Real production work on a substantial multi-site project.
• Direct collaboration with the content and SEO leads.
• Possible follow-on engagements with 2DC for the right candidate.
