Content Engineer (part-time)

Why This Role Exists

AirOps is currently being built and expanded across three pilot clients. As it scales to more clients and content types, it needs a dedicated owner — someone who designs, maintains, and grows the workflows.

The workflow logic, prompt architecture, and brand kit structure require focused ownership. Adding this to a writer or editor’s existing workload cancels out the time savings the system creates.

What the Role Does

• Design and maintain AirOps content workflows across all content types
• Create and configure brand kits during client onboarding; maintain the workflow that keeps them synced when editors update writer’s guides — Content Engineer owns the mechanism, editors own the content
• Assess workflow output quality at the structural level: research approach, methodology alignment, brief readiness for editorial review
• Update workflows as Foundation’s strategy evolves — new formats, methodology changes, template updates
• Onboard new clients as the pilot expands
• Troubleshoot workflow issues; escalate to AirOps support when needed
• Expand Foundation’s use of AirOps by experimenting with new capabilities and piloting them into production

What This Role Does Not Do

• Write client content or create briefs manually
• Manage client relationships or communicate directly with clients
• Determine brand kit content — that’s the editor’s domain via the writer’s guide
• Make client-specific content strategy decisions

Who This Person Is

Required:

• Systems thinking — breaks content processes into logical steps, spots where they break down
• AI fluency — comfortable with AI tools, prompt logic, and automation platforms
• Content knowledge — understands how different content types work; familiarity with AI visibility and GEO is a strong asset
• Attention to detail — small prompt changes have meaningful downstream effects
• Self-directed — finds what’s not working and fixes it
• Collaborative — aligns before moving forward on experiments or changes

Nice to have:

• Experience with AirOps or similar tools (n8n, Zapier, Make)
• Background in content operations, strategy, editorial, or content creation — the more content knowledge, the better
• Familiarity with SEO, B2B content marketing, or AI visibility

What Success Looks Like at 90 Days

• Runs briefs end-to-end for any active client without support
• Has shipped at least one workflow improvement
• Editors spend 15 minutes or less on brief review
• Ready to onboard the next client independently
