Job description

Overview

This is not a “make it pretty and wait for tickets” role.

This is a production + systems + performance role.

We’re looking for a developer who can build fast, think in templates, understand SEO impact, and care deeply about how sites actually perform — not just how they look.

If you like shipping work weekly, solving real problems, and knowing your work directly impacts growth… keep reading.

Your Mission

Build and maintain high-performing WordPress sites while creating repeatable systems that help our SEO and paid teams scale faster and convert better.

You are not just “supporting” SEO —

you are building the infrastructure that makes SEO and CRO work.

What You’ll Do

• Build and improve WordPress websites (Elementor-based)
• Service pages
• Service-area / location pages
• SEO landing pages
• Paid traffic landing pages
• Partner with the SEO team on:
• • Technical SEO improvements
  • Page speed & Core Web Vitals
  • Clean site architecture & internal linking foundations
• Own Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics (GA4):
• • Event setup
  • Conversion tracking
  • Form tracking
  • Debugging issues before clients notice them
• Document templates and processes so we don’t rely on tribal knowledge

What You Will NOT Do

• 🚫 Sit idle waiting for tasks
• 🚫 Only work on one “big project” at a time
• 🚫 Hide behind “that’s not my job”

What Success Looks Like

• Pages and templates shipped weekly, not “eventually”
• BLG’s site revamp actually launches (imagine that)
• SEO team can deploy pages faster without reinventing the wheel
• Technical SEO issues go down, not sideways
• Tracking works, data is clean, and attribution makes sense
• You’re fluent in WordPress + Elementor
• You understand how dev decisions affect SEO and CRO
• You can think in systems and templates, not one-offs
• You care about page speed, structure, and clean builds
• You want to be trusted with real responsibility
• You only want to “design”
• You move fast but break everything
• You think GA4 and GTM are “someone else’s job”

Tech Stack (Current)

• WordPress (Elementor)
• Google Analytics (GA4)
• SEO tooling (Alli AI, SearchAtlas, others)
• Project management + SOPs (we value clarity)

Location / Hours

• Open to LATAM or Europe
• Must overlap with U.S. business hours
• Remote-friendly, accountability required

Compensation

• Monthly salary (region & experience dependent)
• Opportunity to grow into a Lead Web / CRO role as we scale

How to Apply

Send:

• A 2–3 minute Loom covering:
• Your WordPress experience
• How you think about templates + SEO
• A site you’ve built that performs well (not just looks good)
• Your CV
• Your monthly compensation expectation

If you like shipping work that actually moves the needle — not just pushing pixels — we should talk.
