RSAC is the premier series of global events and year‑round learning for the cybersecurity community. RSAC is where the security industry converges to discuss current and future concerns and gain access to experts, unbiased content, and ideas that help individuals and companies advance their cybersecurity posture and build stronger, smarter teams.

About the Role
We're looking for a Senior UX Strategist to lead the re-architecture and consolidation of two existing websites into a single, scalable platform. This is a contract engagement focused on strategy, structure, and user experience — not visual design (we have a creative designer in-house). The right person will bring a strong point of view on how to organize content, build intuitive navigation systems, and set up an information architecture that can grow with the business.

The right person will bring a strong point of view on how to organize content, build intuitive navigation systems, and set up an information architecture that can grow with the business.
What You'll Do
- Audit the content and structure across both existing websites
- Develop a unified site map and navigation architecture that merges both sites into one cohesive experience
- Define a scalable page hierarchy and content categorization framework
- Create wireframes for key page templates (homepage, landing pages, interior pages, etc.)
- Establish URL structure, internal linking strategy, and heading hierarchy optimized for SEO
- Advise on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) best practices — structured data, content clarity, and formatting that performs well in AI-generated search results
- Collaborate with our in-house creative designer to hand off wireframes and structural direction
- Document the IA and UX rationale so it can guide future site growth
- 10+ years of experience in UX strategy, information architecture, or a related discipline
- Proven experience leading website redesigns, ideally projects involving site consolidation or migration
- Deep expertise in information architecture — site mapping, taxonomy, navigation design, and content modeling
- Experience with content migration planning and redirect mapping (301 strategy)
- Familiarity with CMS platforms and how IA decisions impact CMS setup
- Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals (URL structure, heading hierarchy, internal linking, content siloing)
- Familiarity with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and how AI-powered search tools surface and cite content
- Experience working alongside or handing off to visual/creative designers
- Strong communicator who can articulate the "why" behind structural decisions
Engagement Details

The anticipated hourly rate is $75 - $125 for this position, with flexibility based on qualifications and experience.
Our Culture
