Ascension LLC is seeking a Content Management / SharePoint / Section 508 Specialist to support the USDA Forest Service Office of Regulatory and Management Services in strengthening how priority correspondence, records-related content, public inquiry materials, and internal program information are organized, maintained, tracked, and made accessible across digital workspaces.

This position is ideal for a detail-oriented content management professional who understands federal digital work environments, SharePoint-based collaboration, Section 508 accessibility expectations, document organization, version control, workflow coordination, and the importance of maintaining clear, accurate, and usable information for government decision-makers. The selected candidate will help ORMS maintain and optimize digital workspaces, support content alignment across program activities, assist with website updates, organize business and technical documentation, and ensure content is accessible, traceable, and ready for Government review.

This role is important because ORMS supports controlled correspondence, correspondence policy, data quality, directives and regulation, forms and reports, FOIA/Privacy Act, FACA, information collections, and records management. The PWS specifically calls for support that improves operational efficiency, accurate processing of controlled correspondence, workflow documentation, and strategic readiness.

Position Summary

The Content Management / SharePoint / Section 508 Specialist will provide hands-on support for managing, organizing, updating, and improving ORMS digital content and collaboration spaces. The candidate will support correspondence management workflows, maintain structured content repositories, update associated websites, support Section 508 remediation and accessibility checks, and coordinate with Government staff to ensure content is accurate, organized, compliant, and easy to retrieve.

The ideal candidate will bring practical experience using SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, and accessibility checking tools. The candidate should be comfortable working in a remote federal support environment, managing multiple priorities, maintaining detailed documentation, supporting meeting and action-item follow-up, and working independently with limited day-to-day direction.

This position requires a professional who can translate loosely defined content needs into organized pages, lists, document libraries, file structures, calendars, alerts, trackers, and user-friendly documentation. The candidate must be able to anticipate problems, recommend improvements, support continuity of operations, and maintain transparent backup documentation for all work performed.

The selected candidate will be expected to:

• Maintain SharePoint sites, pages, document libraries, folders, lists, calendars, alerts, and content repositories supporting ORMS correspondence and content management activities.
• Update associated websites and digital workspaces to reflect current ORMS program activities, priorities, strategic documents, frameworks, tools, and approved content.
• Map internal strategic documents, frameworks, templates, and tools to ORMS program activities and maintain clear crosswalks or tracking documentation.
• Support technical project management activities related to correspondence processing systems, public inquiry management, Section 508 compliance, and electronic collaboration tools such as SharePoint.
• Organize content structures to improve document retrieval, reduce duplication, strengthen version control, and support controlled correspondence and records-related workflows.
• Perform Section 508 accessibility checks and remediation support for Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, SharePoint content, and other materials intended for internal or external use.
• Use Microsoft 365 accessibility tools and Adobe Acrobat accessibility functions to identify and correct common issues, including heading structure, alt text, reading order, tables, hyperlinks, color contrast, and document metadata.
• Coordinate with Government program staff to collect, validate, update, and publish approved content in the appropriate workspace or repository.
• Document content management processes, naming conventions, folder structures, posting procedures, accessibility steps, and quality control checks.
• Support business case and analysis-of-alternatives documentation by organizing backup materials, references, supporting files, and decision documentation.
• Maintain detailed backup files that provide transparency into source materials, content changes, version history, and deliverable inputs.
• Track content-related action items, open questions, deadlines, and dependencies affecting ORMS website updates or digital workspace improvements.
• Prepare briefing materials, status inputs, content inventories, issue logs, and summary updates for Government review.
• Identify risks, gaps, outdated content, broken links, inconsistent formatting, inaccessible materials, and opportunities to improve content quality and usability.
• Recommend enhancements to digital workspace structure, SharePoint lists, libraries, forms, workflows, metadata, and document control practices.
• Support transition activities by preparing content inventories, file exports, standard-format data packages, knowledge transfer documentation, and handoff materials.
• Protect Government information by following system access, telework, PIV, data handling, and Government-furnished equipment requirements.
• Collaborate with the Project Manager, correspondence management staff, records management SMEs, technical writers, and Government stakeholders to ensure content aligns with ORMS priorities and federal requirements.
