About the Role

Are you naturally inclined to organize, analyze, and bring structure to large volumes of digital content? Do you find satisfaction in making sure information is findable, searchable, and cleanly categorized? As a Remote Content Tagging Specialist, you'll be instrumental in shaping how users navigate and experience digital content across platforms. This role is not about writing new content—it's about bringing order to existing data, using tagging systems and metadata strategies to create consistency. Your efforts will directly impact how content is indexed, retrieved, and recommended, playing a crucial role in both the backend digital architecture and the frontend content experiences. You'll thrive if you're someone who notices minor inconsistencies, enjoys repetitive but meaningful work, and takes pride in precision. In this fully remote role, your work will inform recommendations, search features, and browsing experiences, powering content delivery engines used by thousands of people daily.

Daily tasks are process-driven and metrics-based, offering clear goals and measurable outcomes. Your ability to stay on track, deliver consistent results, and communicate efficiently with remote colleagues will be key to long-term success. While the role offers independence, regular collaboration on Slack and scheduled check-ins will help you stay aligned with evolving taxonomy needs and tagging protocols.
