• Collaboration: Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (designers, content creators, SEO specialists) and work both independently and in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Headless WordPress: Experience with headless WordPress or integrating WordPress with REST APIs for a more flexible development approach.
• E-commerce Integration: Familiarity with integrating WooCommerce or other e-commerce platforms into WordPress sites.
• Multisite Support: Experience working with WordPress Multisite for managing multiple websites from a single installation.
