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
