What is content programming?

Content programming refers to the process of selecting, scheduling, and organizing content for digital platforms, television, streaming services, or social media. It involves curating content to engage specific audiences, optimize viewer retention, and achieve strategic business goals. Content programmers analyze audience data, trends, and platform algorithms to make decisions about what content to showcase and when. This role is crucial in ensuring the right mix of content is delivered to attract and retain viewers or users.

How does a content programming professional typically collaborate with other teams to ensure effective content delivery?

Content Programming professionals frequently work cross-functionally with marketing, editorial, product, and analytics teams to curate and schedule engaging content. They participate in regular strategy meetings to align content calendars with business goals, campaign launches, or audience trends. Close collaboration with analytics helps them monitor performance and make data-driven decisions, while coordination with editorial ensures that content is timely, relevant, and on-brand. This teamwork is essential for adapting to shifting audience preferences and achieving successful content distribution.

What is the difference between Content Programming vs Content Editing?

AspectContent ProgrammingContent Editing
Primary FocusPlanning and scheduling content to align with strategic goalsReviewing, revising, and refining content for quality and accuracy
Skills RequiredContent strategy, scheduling tools, audience analysisWriting, grammar, attention to detail
Work EnvironmentContent management systems, editorial calendarsWord processors, editing software
Common UsageMedia companies, digital platforms, broadcastersPublishing houses, online publishers, media outlets

Content Programming involves planning and scheduling content to meet strategic objectives, while Content Editing focuses on refining and improving content for clarity and quality. Both roles are essential in content creation workflows but serve different functions within the content lifecycle.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a content programmer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Content Programmer, you need expertise in content strategy, editorial judgment, and a strong understanding of target audiences, often supported by a degree in communications, media, or a related field. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), analytics tools like Google Analytics, and scheduling platforms is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and strong organizational skills help set standout professionals apart in this role. These skills ensure engaging, relevant content is delivered effectively to audiences, driving growth and maintaining brand consistency.

Senior Content Engineer

College Board

Remote

$125K - $131K/yr

Full-time

Posted 27 days ago

Job description

College Board - Technology
Location: This is a remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes.
Role: This is a full-time position.
About the Team
The Content Engineering team sits within a multidisciplinary technology team that integrates design, content, and engineering to deliver consistent, scalable user experiences. We support structured content models, authoring ecosystems, metadata standards, and content workflows that power College Board's digital products and websites.
Our team partners with platform product leadership and serves a broad community of content creators working in DITA, Drupal, HTML-based structured content, and assessment and item-authoring systems. We aim to unify practices, strengthen the discipline, and support content systems that are robust, maintainable, and flexible for the future.
About the Opportunity
As a Senior Content Engineer, you'll help define and implement the structured content strategy for the Authentic Work Platform - a complex, evolving digital environment that serves both students and professionals. You'll work across systems like Drupal and XDocs to design content models, metadata, and authoring frameworks that enable reuse, editorial efficiency, and scalable content delivery.
As a key member of a cross-functional team, you'll collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams to connect structured content with user-facing features, support decoupled rendering, and drive consistency across print and digital experiences. You'll apply systems thinking to content - designing models, taxonomies, and workflows that are structured, scalable, and sustainable. This role calls for a strategic architect's mindset: shaping how content flows across platforms to support technical integration and a cohesive, user-centered experience.
In this role, you will:
  • (35%) Design and document structured content models and metadata frameworks that support scalable content creation, reuse, and maintainability - enabling delivery of new features while improving author workflows and editorial governance.

  • (30%) Provide technical leadership to engineering partners by guiding how structured content is consumed, rendered, and scaled across new UIs - including coaching team members on content APIs, prototyping solutions, and aligning content with front-end needs.

  • (20%) Lead efforts to integrate content consistently across print and digital workflows, improving how complex content is modeled, tagged, and delivered to ensure a unified user experience.

  • (15%) Contribute to the long-term content architecture strategy for the Authentic Work Platform, applying systems thinking and collaborating across disciplines to align content infrastructure with product and user goals.

About You
  • 4-6 years of experience designing structured content or data models and workflows for digital products

  • Expertise in structured content systems such as XML/DITA, with experience in production-scale, user-facing environments

  • Familiarity with enterprise content management systems (e.g., Drupal, XDocs), including authoring workflows and metadata structures

  • Technical fluency in working with structured content - including reading and debugging delivery APIs, scripting transformations, and analyzing markup or metadata to support modeling decisions

  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex content systems clearly using diagrams, documentation, or data

  • A systems thinker who applies architectural approaches to content design for scalability, maintainability, and reuse

  • Collaborative mindset with strong influencing and negotiation skills across cross-functional teams

  • A self-starter who enjoys untangling complexity, learning new tools, and driving clarity in ambiguous systems

  • Motivation to support educational and career opportunities for students through thoughtful, scalable content design

  • Designing structured content systems for both author usability and machine readability - balancing editorial workflows with flexible, front-end rendering

  • Leading modernization efforts such as content system migrations, governance improvements, or large-scale model redesigns

  • Collaborating with engineers on shared tooling (e.g., reusable components, content validation, API integration) to streamline implementation

  • Applying content architecture to support personalization, AI-readiness, or improved search and findability across platforms

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., technical communication, information science, computer science) and 4-6 years of experience working with structured content systems - or equivalent experience in a content engineering role.

  • The ability to travel 3-5 times a year to College Board offices or on behalf of College Board business.

All roles at College Board require:
  • A passion for expanding educational and career opportunities and mission-driven work

  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies, with a willingness to experiment with and adopt new AI-driven solutions and comfort with learning and applying new digital tools independently and proactively.

  • Clear and concise communication skills, written and verbal

  • A learner's mindset and a commitment to growth: welcoming diverse perspectives, giving and receiving timely, respectful feedback, and continuously improving through iterative learning and user input.

  • A drive for impact and excellence: solving complex problems, making data-informed decisions, prioritizing what matters most, and continuously improving through learning, user input, and external benchmarking.

  • A collaborative and empathetic approach: working across differences, fostering trust, and contributing to a culture of shared success

  • Authorization to work in the United States

About Our Process
  • Application review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. This role is expected to accept applications for a minimum of 5 business days.

  • While the hiring process may vary, it generally includes: resume and application submission, recruiter phone/video screen, hiring manager interview, performance exercise such as live coding, a panel interview, a conversation with leadership and reference checks.

What We Offer
At College Board, we offer more than a paycheck- we provide a meaningful career, a supportive team, and a comprehensive package designed to help you thrive. We're a self-sustaining nonprofit that believes in fair and competitive compensation grounded in your qualifications, experience, impact, and the market.
A Thoughtful Approach to Compensation
  • The hiring range for this role is $80,000 - $140,000.

  • Your exact salary will depend on your location, experience, and how your background compares to others in similar roles at the College Board.

  • We aim to make our best offer upfront, rooted in fairness, transparency, and market data.

  • We adjust salaries by location to ensure fairness, no matter where you live.
