- Customise template-based websites to match client branding and functionality requirements.
- Perform and oversee website edits and updates, including content, layouts, and functionality improvements.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues such as plugin conflicts, broken layouts, and performance challenges.
- Oversee full site migrations — staging to live, domain transfers, hosting transfers, and DNS setup.
- Optimise websites for speed, security, and mobile responsiveness.
- Document processes, maintain accurate records, and ensure smooth handovers.
- Collaborate with designers, developers, and project managers to deliver high-quality results.
- Liaise directly with clients or their previous IT providers to coordinate migrations and technical handovers.
What We're Looking For

- At least 3 years of leadership experience, managing or mentoring developers, overseeing project delivery, or leading technical teams.
- Proven ability to lead code reviews, set development standards, and guide junior and mid-level developers.

- Solid skills in HTML, CSS, and PHP (basic JavaScript knowledge a plus).
- Confident in customising template-based websites and working with page builders.
- Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to liaise with clients, third-party IT providers, and internal stakeholders when required.
- Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects and team priorities effectively.
- Comfortable leading independently while fostering a collaborative team environment.
