Reporting to the Vice President of Marketing Operations, this role builds fast, reliable, conversion-focused websites on WordPress and ensures those properties are engineered from the ground up for discoverability across both traditional search engines and emerging AI-driven search experiences. The ideal candidate is a WordPress expert who treats technical SEO and AI Optimization (AIO) as foundational disciplines rather than afterthoughts, and who understands how modern search, including Google AI Overviews and generative/LLM answer engines, discovers, interprets, and surfaces web content. This is a high-impact, individual-contributor role central to how prospective students find and engage with our schools online. RESPONSIBILITIES include the following: WordPress Development & Site Management * Build, customize, and maintain WordPress websites, themes, plugins, and templates, writing clean, well-documented code (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript). * Develop and optimize conversion-focused landing pages and lead-capture experiences in partnership with marketing and admissions. * Manage site performance, uptime, security, updates, and backups across all web properties; troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly. * Implement responsive, accessible, and cross-browser-compatible design that renders reliably across devices. Technical SEO * Own technical SEO across all web properties; site architecture, crawlability, indexation, canonicalization, redirects, and XML sitemaps. * Optimize Core Web Vitals and page-speed performance; diagnose and resolve technical issues that impede rankings. * Implement and maintain structured data / schema markup to enhance eligibility for rich results. * Partner with content and marketing teams on on-page optimization, internal linking, and information architecture. AI Optimization (AIO) * Optimize web properties for AI-driven and generative search surfaces, including Google AI Overviews and LLM-based answer engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini). * Structure content, entities, and markup to maximize accurate representation and citation within AI-generated answers. * Monitor AI search visibility and citation share, and translate findings into an ongoing optimization roadmap. * Stay current on the rapidly evolving generative-search landscape and proactively adapt strategy. Analytics, Collaboration & Continuous Improvement * Implement and maintain analytics, tag management, and conversion tracking (e.g., GA4, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console). * Use data and A/B testing to continuously improve site performance, usability, and conversion rates. * Collaborate with marketing, admissions, IT, and external agency partners to deliver web initiatives on time. * Document technical processes, standards, and site configurations. ## Related Videos - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Kill Your WordPress.
