Job description

Do you consistently ask, “What’s Next?”Are you nimble and able to adapt to rapidly changing situations?Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment?Think you could be THE PLAID AGENCY’s next Digital + Content Marketing Manager?

We’re THE PLAID AGENCY…an award-winning, full-service advertising agency specializing in customer insights, fundamental fierceness and a passion to deliver. We are growing and searching for a highly motivated Digital + Content Marketing Manager to join our team. This is a "roll up your sleeves" opportunity to jump in and create, execute and evaluate digital and traditional marketing strategies and initiatives.

The Role

You’ll be the builder on our web team: part front-end developer, part creative collaborator, part power user of automated development tooling. One day you’re turning a Figma design into a polished, production-ready site, the next you’re showing a designer what a scroll animation could do for their concept, or building a custom plugin that gives a client something off-the-shelf can’t.

You’ll build hands-on in WordPress and Elementor, work with automated development tooling every day, and experiment with agentic workflows where the use case fits. You direct the work, test it, refine it, and own the result. You’ll collaborate closely with design, account, and leadership to bring websites and applications to life.

What You’ll Do

Development & Build

• Turn Figma designs into fast, responsive, production-ready websites and landing pages.
• Use automated development tooling as a core part of your workflow, directing the build and validating every output.
• Develop custom WordPress plugins, components, and functionality that extend what our marketing sites can do.
• Support builds on our modern stack (Next.js, React, Storyblok, Vercel, Supabase) as we grow beyond WordPress and Elementor.
• Build to functionality requirements and use cases, then iterate until it’s right.
• Bring ideas to designers early: animation, interaction, and unique functionality they may not know is possible.
• Apply a strong sense of UX to every build, from how things move to how they feel.

Website Management & Maintenance

• Own the ongoing management of our client website portfolio on WP Engine and Vercel: plugin and core updates, security, backups, uptime, performance, and troubleshooting.
• Handle client site edits, fixes, and small enhancement requests with quick turnaround.
• Help maintain internal standards for code quality, performance, and accessibility.
• Work hand-in-hand with designers, account leads, and leadership from concept through launch.
• Participate in client meetings as needed, explaining technical options in plain language.
• Support PLAID’s own website and internal tools as applicable.
• Work schedule/hours: This position requires occasional nonstandard work hours in accordance with project needs, deadlines, deliverables, and urgent client requests.

Who You Are

• A doer and a collaborator with a positive attitude.
• Front-end focused and code-aware, fluent in WordPress and Elementor, with a real feel for how good websites should look and work.
• Comfortable adopting new development tools quickly and making them the way you work, not an add-on.
• Curious and willing to move with us as our platforms and stack evolve.
• A clear communicator who owns their work.
