Optimizely Web and Digital Development Coordinator - 18 month FTC

At AXA - Global Healthcare, we’re seeking a versatile web and digital delivery professional to join our dynamic team on an 18-month FTC. As a Web and Digital Executive, you’ll play a key role in delivering our digital output, utilising your expertise with the Optimizely CMS platform (formerly Episerver) to transform fully-formed briefs from across the business into clean, purposeful, and user-friendly web pages and journeys. Your work will be fundamental in delivering on business objectives within a highly regulated environment, ensuring that we never compromise on page experience.

If you thrive in modular, block-based CMS systems, particularly with Optimizely v11/12 we’d love to hear from you; fluency in French would be a valuable asset. At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You’ll work at least 40% of your week away from home. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support the web and digital team in prioritising, testing, and implementing development sprints.
• Manage ad-hoc website changes and asset creation for high-profile ‘transform’ programs.
• Assist in publishing content and experiences, ensuring they are on-brand and accessible.
• Coordinate the creation of digital briefs, ensuring clarity and specificity.
• Conduct peer reviews, evaluating work against style and standard checklists.
• Manage a task backlog using scrum-style project management, including task scoping, hour estimation, daily updates, attendance at retrospectives, and kanban board updates.

What you’ll bring:

Desirable:

• Fluency in French.
