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
• Ticketing / project management systems
