About The Role

As our Front-End Web Developer in the Marketing Team, and in collaboration with our UX and UI Specialist, you’ll play a key role in creating user-friendly digital experiences that reflect our new brand and connect with pet lovers across Australia. From launching and maintaining our new website to supporting digital marketing campaigns, you’ll work alongside a collaborative team of marketers, designers, and content creators to ensure our customer-facing platforms are beautiful, fast, and functional.

What You’ll Do

1. Website and Platform Development
   • Build, launch, and maintain the website for our new pet insurance brand.
   • Design and implement responsive, mobile-optimised layouts using WordPress and Elementor, in collaboration with our UX and UI specialist.
2. Website Content Management
   • Upload and update content like product pages, blogs, and campaign materials.
   • Ensure updates are accurate, on-brand, and delivered on time.
   • Setup landing pages and CMS.
   • Integrate forms and leads.
3. Website Performance and Optimisation
   • Monitor site performance and resolve speed or responsiveness issues.
   • Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix for ongoing optimisation.
4. Integration, Tracking, and Reporting
   • Implement tags and tracking (e.g., GA4, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar).
   • Collaborate to ensure proper setup of marketing tech platforms like HubSpot.
   • Ensure correct reporting and tracking across marketing and advertising platforms.
   • Set up and monitor website reporting.
5. New Brand Launch Support
   • Support planning and rollout of the new brand’s digital presence.
   • Build landing pages, branded content sections, and interactive features.
6. Collaboration
   • Work closely with the Digital Marketing Specialist, Content Writers, UI & UX, Graphic Designers, and Social Media team to support campaigns.
   • Assist with third-party integrations, forms, and tracking tools.
7. Technical Support and Maintenance
   • Troubleshoot front-end issues and maintain a reliable digital experience.
   • Document development processes and support platform stability.
