The Opportunity

The Knowledge & Content Management Specialist is an individual contributor responsible for executing and sustaining enterprise standards for knowledge and content management. This role ensures that organizational knowledge is accurate, compliant, well structured, and consistently governed throughout its lifecycle.

Working cross functionally with Human Resources, Employee Relations, Legal, IT, and business content owners, this role applies governance frameworks, monitors compliance, improves content quality, and enables effective knowledge sharing—without direct people management responsibility.

This role will be key to our success as we migrate to a new HCM (Human Capital Management) Platform & Technology. As part of this transition, we will be heavily focused on the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) within our HR tools to enable Employee & Manager Self-Service. This will drive a significant need for content review and creation of easily digestible and understandable content for our end users. 

This role partners with policy and content owners in a consultative capacity, focusing on writing quality, tone, structure, and usability rather than serving as the subject‑matter expert. The role is responsible for authoring, editing, rewriting, and standardizing policies, SOPs, and knowledge articles for audiences including HR professionals, corporate and professional employees, and craft or field employees.

The Team

Black & Veatch’s Business Enablement consists of critical groups that help enable the organizations people, projects, and businesses to be as successful as possible.   Functions in this group include Digital & Information Technology, Global Finance, Global Human Resources, Legal, Risk Management, and Government Affairs and Real Estate and Building Services.
