The ideal candidate will be a Word Press and general web development expert who thrives on managing web environments at scale, resolving complex problems, and integrating third-party systems. Beyond technical mastery, this role requires exceptional communication and project management skills. You will act as a primary technical point of contact for clients, collaborate closely with internal cross-functional teams, and proactively solve roadblocks to ensure successful project delivery.

• Database & Scale Management:
  Monitor, optimize, and maintain database health across our entire network, ensuring fast query times and structural stability under high traffic.
• Core Web Vitals & Page Speed:
  Own website performance end-to-end. Analyze and resolve speed bottlenecks to achieve top-tier Google Core Web Vitals scores across all sites.
• Technical SEO & Analytics:
  Implement advanced technical SEO (schema markup, crawl optimization) and deploy complex tracking infrastructures (GA4, GTM, custom data layers) without compromising site speed.

Client Collaboration & Project Management

  Partner directly with clients to understand their needs, walk them through technical questions/answers, and translate complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable business insights.

  Proactively identify, navigate, and resolve technical or logistical bottlenecks to keep multi-site projects moving forward on schedule.
• Project Oversight & Mentorship:
  Act as the technical lead on portfolio-wide initiatives, establishing workflows, ensuring code quality, and mentoring junior or mid-level developers.

Communication & Leadership

  Skills:
  
  Ability to articulately explain technical constraints, solutions, and strategies to non-technical clients and internal stakeholders alike.

  Proven ability to manage project timelines, prioritize competing tasks across a massive site portfolio, and maintain organization under pressure.
