Website Manager

Leading media events and publishing business seeks an experienced Website Manager to join their team.

The website manager owns the websites from end to end. That means how it performs, how accurate it is, how visible it is, how well it converts and how reliable it is day to day. The website is not just a shop window.

It is one of our client's most important commercial assets and the main inbound engine for subscriptions, research, events and brand trust.

Roughly 25% of the company's revenue is generated directly via the website and this is expected to increase to 30% in 2026-27.

This role exists to make sure the website simply works. It should rank well, convert (subscriptions, lead-gens, events) properly and always reflect their brand at its best. Things should run smoothly. When they don't, they should get fixed quickly.

The website manager works with a high level of independence, clear judgment and a calm, reassuring approach. Problems are dealt with fast, recurring issues are fixed at the root and progress is clear and visible to the wider business.

What this role owns

• The website itself and all inbound traffic
• How fast it is, how well it performs and how visible it is across Google and AI
• How people move from reading to signing up - for playbooks, subs, events, etc.

• You bring forward ideas that are practical, relevant and aligned with the direction of the company.
• You know WordPress inside out
• You are comfortable using Google Analytics and Search Console
• You understand SEO and what makes a website perform well
