Clockwork is seeking a Consulting Tech Lead with Umbraco expertise to help deliver a multiple website implementation with a focus on accessibility.

• Technical leadership and enablement
• Lead early architecture and implementation decisions in Umbraco and .NET and establish team standards (structure, patterns, workflows).
• Pair with Clockwork engineers and coach a team with strong web experience and limited Umbraco and .NET experience.
• Create pragmatic documentation and examples so the team can continue independently after your ramp-down.
• Build foundational Umbraco structures (content types, templates, shared components, navigation patterns).
• Guide and support the migration approach from Kentico, including content mapping and movement strategy.
• Integrate essential tooling as needed (analytics/tag management, maps, and other client-specific integrations).

• Bake accessibility into components and templates (semantic HTML, keyboard support, focus states, form patterns, ARIA where appropriate).
• Help define a11y acceptance criteria and testing habits (automated and manual checks) within the team.

• Work within client-managed infrastructure, environments, and deployment processes.
• Help ensure environment parity and release confidence through solid workflows and guardrails.

• The team has repeatable Umbraco patterns and can ship confidently without a long-term dependency on you.
• The initial site foundations are solid and accessible.
• You roll off cleanly with a strong handoff, leaving the team ready to complete the remaining sites.

• Strong .NET/C# web development experience, with comfort mentoring developers newer to .NET.
• Experience with CMS migrations (Kentico experience is a plus).
• Demonstrated accessibility delivery experience (WCAG-informed implementation and validation).

• Experience in enterprise environments with multiple environments and structured deployment processes.
• Multi-site implementations and shared component libraries/design systems in CMS contexts.
• Experience enabling content editors and supporting launch readiness.
