- 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

- 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

- 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
