Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are. 

We’re proud to say we’ve built a team of curious, passionate pros — from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists — who love what they do and bring their A-game every day. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We believe great ideas come from collaboration, humor, and a little bit of fun along the way. 

When you work at Reingold, you get more than a job, you get a community. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, a dynamic hybrid work environment, a vibrant workplace and growth opportunities in a variety of specialty areas. That means when we find great people (and they find us), they stick around for the long term.

Reingold’s Technical Writing and Quality Assurance (TWQA) team strengthens client delivery by ensuring complex technical, operational, policy, programmatic, and training-adjacent content is clear, accurate, accessible, actionable, and aligned with audience needs. The team’s hub-and-spoke model balances quality, speed, and cost control through a lean core team and scalable roster of specialists.

That’s where you come in. The Senior Manager of Content Strategy and Knowledge Management is a senior content operations leader responsible for shaping, governing, and scaling Reingold’s content and knowledge ecosystem. This role oversees strategy, standards, information architecture, lifecycle governance, quality assurance, analytics, and reusable knowledge assets that help teams create high-quality deliverables efficiently.

Working across account teams, subject matter experts, project managers, writers, editors, designers, learning specialists, digital teams, and client stakeholders, this role ensures content is findable, reusable, measurable, and aligned with client objectives, federal accessibility expectations, plain-language principles, editorial standards, and responsible AI use. The role also serves as a strategic advisor, functional leader, and mentor for content strategy, knowledge management, and quality improvement initiatives.

This is a hybrid role, requiring at least two days per week on site at Reingold’s headquarters in Alexandria, VA.

• Create and maintain sources of truth for procedures, guidance, job aids, playbooks, SOPs, templates, training support materials, editorial resources, and reusable assets.
• Improve information architecture, searchability, navigation, tagging, lifecycle management, ownership, and findability across repositories and delivery platforms.

Quality, Accessibility, Analytics, and Innovation

• Establish quality assurance frameworks for content, including editorial reviews, technical accuracy checks, accessibility checks, plain-language reviews, style compliance, and final publication readiness.
• Define and report meaningful content and knowledge management metrics, such as content reuse, review-cycle time, defect trends, user satisfaction, search performance, content freshness, repository usage, and adoption of standards.
• Use data, analytics, user feedback, client input, and operational insights to recommend improvements to content performance, workflow efficiency, audience experience, and knowledge sharing.
• Promote accessibility and Section 508-informed practices in content development, document structure, templates, review checklists, and publishing workflows.
• Guide responsible use of AI-enabled tools for research, summarization, content drafting, review, quality assurance, knowledge organization, metadata support, and workflow improvement, including practical guardrails for accuracy, privacy, bias, and human review.

Success Measures

• Content repositories are easier to search, navigate, reuse, govern, and maintain.
• Project teams use consistent templates, standards, review processes, and sources of truth.
• Content quality improves through fewer defects, clearer ownership, stronger plain-language execution, and more reliable publication readiness.
• Stakeholders have better visibility into content status, risks, dependencies, resource needs, and performance trends.
• AI-enabled tools are used responsibly to improve efficiency without weakening accuracy, accessibility, privacy, or editorial judgment.
