🏢 About The Choice Inc

The Choice Inc is managing this contract for a client that is a national association dedicated to advancing equitable higher education access. This means you'd be contributing to meaningful work that helps remove barriers to education while working through an established staffing agency that specializes in placing professionals in mission-driven organizations. The remote nature allows flexibility while supporting an important social cause.

About This Role

As a Content Migration Specialist, you'll be responsible for transferring content from Your Membership to iMIS over a 6-month period, ensuring accuracy and functionality throughout the process. This role is impactful because you'll be helping a higher education association maintain critical member resources and information during a system transition, directly supporting their mission of equitable access. Your work will enable staff and members to access content seamlessly in the new system.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves migrating batches of content from Your Membership to iMIS, checking formatting consistency, and documenting any issues encountered. You'll collaborate with association staff via email or video calls to confirm content priorities and resolve questions about specific assets. Regular quality assurance checks ensure migrated content functions correctly in the new system while maintaining detailed records of the migration process.
