Our client
Our client is a marketing agency working with ambitious entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and growing SMEs. They act as an extension of their clients’ teams, and often as their entire marketing team, using digital marketing, automation and AI to help businesses grow. They are expanding their in-house team and looking for a Web Developer to take ownership of the websites that support their clients’ marketing activity.
The role
You will build, maintain and improve WordPress websites across a portfolio of clients. Working closely with the Agency Director, SEO Specialist and Paid Media Specialist, you will make sure sites are fast, reliable, accessible and effective at generating enquiries.
You will also have the opportunity to work on the agency’s own tools, automations and AI projects. This is a hands-on role in a small team, so you will need to communicate confidently with colleagues and clients, including by phone or video call.

About you
Our client is looking for a conscientious developer who takes ownership of their work and enjoys being part of a small, supportive team. You will be organised enough to manage your workload within part-time hours, document your work and keep colleagues informed of progress.
You will ideally have:

Strong WordPress development experience, preferably across multiple sites or within an agency
Strong PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills, with a code-level understanding of WordPress
Experience with template hierarchy, custom post types, hooks and ACF
Practical experience with Avada/Fusion Builder, Divi or Elementor, and sound judgement about when to use a page builder or write code
A track record of improving website speed and performance
Experience with GTM and dataLayer tracking, plus enough technical SEO knowledge to work closely with an SEO specialist
Experience connecting third-party platforms using APIs and webhooks
Clear communication skills and confidence speaking directly with clients
