• Designing a taxonomy and metadata model, including hierarchies, controlled vocabularies, synonyms, tagging rules, and audience-specific content classification.

• Defining content structuring guidelines and search optimization requirements to support accurate keyword, semantic, and AI-powered knowledge retrieval.

• Establishing content quality standards, lifecycle rules, review processes, and ownership guidelines in collaboration with the Senior PS Consultant.

• Supporting proofs of concept (PoCs) by evaluating taxonomy and search capabilities, assessing AI retrieval quality, and documenting recommendations and guidelines for the client's content team.

• 5+ years of experience in information science, taxonomy design, metadata modelling, information architecture, or enterprise search.

• Demonstrated experience designing taxonomies and metadata models for enterprise or digital content environments.

• Practical experience analyzing search behavior, improving content findability, and defining search optimization requirements.

• Experience structuring or preparing content for AI-powered search, knowledge retrieval, or virtual agents.

• Understanding of how content structure, metadata, and information architecture affect AI-powered search and knowledge retrieval.

• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to translate findings into practical recommendations.

• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a Government of Canada security clearance.
