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)
