In this role, a typical day will include:
- Drafting and updating announcements, notices, and system‑generated emails based on finalized inputs from upstream teams and multi-step CMS clearance review cycles.
- Preparing CMS.gov website content change notices aligned to release timelines and approved system behavior.
- Managing fast‑turnaround content with precision, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and consistency across artifacts and releases delivered timely according to the project schedule.
- Tracking, adjudicating, and incorporating CMS review comments and ensuring all changes align with approved language, terminology, and accessibility standards.
- Coordinating with the Agile Liaison, Operations Coordinator, Production Support, and other cross-functional teams to ensure communications sequences match system deployment timelines and protect downstream ETO deliverables.
