Content Coordinator (contract)

Content Coordinator (Contract) Please note that this is a contract role providing services to Microsoft through external staffing partners of Allegis Global Solutions. If you are selected for this role, you will be employed by AGS and will not be an employee of Microsoft. Summary We are seeking a detail-oriented Content Publishing and Automation Specialist to support content publishing operations and help transform manual content workflows into efficient, scalable solutions across Microsoft 365 applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and emerging AI-powered experiences. This role blends hands-on content quality assurance and publishing with practical automation development, requiring someone equally comfortable inspecting a template for subtle quality issues and opening a terminal to script a repeatable workflow. The ideal candidate is meticulous, curious, proactive, and pragmatic — able to connect day-to-day operational details to broader team goals, communicate risks and dependencies early, and build trusted partnerships across content, design, engineering, and localization disciplines. A typical day combines content publishing activities (approximately 30-50% of time) with designing, building, and maintaining automated workflows and reporting solutions for the remainder.
