Recruiting for a content developer for a company in the publishing industry, currently on a pilot to restructure and standardise their journal guidelines, converting rewritten content into structured JSON for web publication.

The Project

This role is part of a 3 month pilot designed to restructure content into a more streamlined and modular architecture. Your role will involve converting the files into structured JSON, creating a modular component driven architecture. Some basic scripting in JavaScript or Python is needed to automate parts of this process.

What You'll Be Doing

• Converting plain text editorial guidelines into structured JSON, following an evolving modular component/page template
• Mapping content fields to their corresponding HTML/template structure and associated styling (styling is already defined — no design work required)
• Working from existing spreadsheets and source documents to populate structured content
• Identifying common vs. journal-specific components to support a consistent, modular content structure
• Troubleshooting content/data mapping issues as the structure is refined
• Where possible, using scripting (Python or JavaScript) to automate parts of the content transformation process

What You'll Need

• Strong understanding of JSON and structured/modular content approaches
• Comfortable working from plain text/spreadsheet sources and converting them into structured formats
• Basic scripting ability (Python, JavaScript, or similar) to support automation where useful
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with ambiguity, as the content architecture is still being finalised

Contract Details

• Part-time, approx. 3 months
• Fully remote, Outside IR35
• Target start: October 2026
• Fast interview process
