Based on an in depth understanding of all the systems and processes involved you will provide support to your colleagues across the business in their use of the platform and will be the primary point of contact in the relationship with the site developer. Maximising the discoverability of our content, and the subsequent successful access to it by our customers, is key to the role. In all instances you will ensure that the platform, the service, and the content delivered meets the highest quality standards possible.

You will manage regular meetings with the external developer as well as with in-house working groups to ensure that the site is maintained and developed and information communicated clearly to all stakeholders, creating and running reports as necessary. As required you will liaise with third party discoverability services and check that all the appropriate metadata and content is making it through to their systems.
