Role Overview We are looking for a skilled WordPress Developer to manage and maintain a large portfolio of client websites on a day-to-day basis. This is a full-time role requiring hands-on development experience—not just page builder familiarity. You will own a ticket-based workflow, implement changes with precision, and uphold a high standard of quality across every site you touch.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a high-volume ticketed inbox of website requests including content updates, layout changes, landing pages, and minor feature additions

• Implement WordPress changes including theme and template adjustments, custom CSS/HTML edits, and basic-to-intermediate PHP and JavaScript modifications

• Perform thorough quality control on every change: test across devices and browsers, verify links, forms, menus, and interactive elements

• Draft clear, professional client-facing summaries of completed work for internal review prior to delivery

• Collaborate with internal developers and account managers to clarify requirements and resolve edge cases

• Proactively flag technical risks, recurring issues, and opportunities to improve or standardize templates and processes

• Maintain clean, secure, and well-organized code and site structure across the portfolio

Required Qualifications

• Professional WordPress development experience with strong knowledge of themes, child themes, plugins, and custom post types

• Proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, and basic-to-intermediate PHP and JavaScript

• Experience with page builders (Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, Gutenberg) plus the ability to go beyond them when needed

• Demonstrated experience managing multiple client sites or a portfolio of WordPress properties

• Strong attention to detail with a consistent habit of self-QA before handoff

• Clear, professional written and spoken English

• Must have prior remote work experience, be fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar), and have ideally worked with US or UK-based companies. Applications without this experience will not be considered.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience at a marketing or digital agency

• Familiarity with SEO best practices in WordPress

• Experience with performance optimization (caching, image optimization, etc.)

• Experience with Git or other version control systems

Tools & Technology

• WordPress (themes, child themes, plugins, custom post types)

• HTML5, CSS3, PHP, JavaScript

• Page builders: Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, Gutenberg

• Google Workspace

• Slack, Zoom, and other remote collaboration tools
