Job Description

We are looking for a front-end Wordpress designer/developer to create new websites and refresh existing websites for our clients. We are a digital marketing agency that believes that digital tactics work best when we can drive traffic to a highly-functional hub. There is no reason for a company to invest in a digital strategy if their website is outdated. You will work with our team of Digital Marketing Strategists, Copywriters and SEO Specialists to create an outstanding online presence for each of our clients, ensuring that their website and other digital channels are working together.

We're looking for someone who truly wants to be part of a team. We're building something amazing, and need your ideas and talent to continue to take our 14-year-old agency to the next level.

At KWSM, you will be part of a driven, hard-working team, while enjoying the balance of a hybrid schedule and every other Friday off. We take career development seriously, and love to train & promote leaders.

We expect our web designer/developers to have design capabilities in addition to the ability (or willingness to learn) to build out a website. You must be able to listen to a client's goals and ideas, and create a website that exceeds their expectations.

As a successful member of our team, you will:

• Possess excellent design skills
• Be familiar and experienced with Wordpress development, and Google web tools.
• Have a thorough understanding of website hosting management and DNS settings.
• Work efficiently and be able to juggle several projects at once.
• Prioritize tasks effectively and meet deadlines without fail.
• Cultivate an understanding of digital lead generation and conversion rate optimization.
• Understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
• Care deeply about creating work that delivers results.

This isn't the kind of gig where you can work through a couple of rounds of changes, and be finished with the site. We will continue to tweak a website until the client is thrilled - or a landing page until our ads are converting. We design great looking sites that also must work to generate leads or sales.

You’ll be given the freedom to share your ideas and expertise. You’ll have responsibility for your own client projects, but will be part of a tight-knit, high-performing team to help you succeed.

KWSM operates on a 9/80 work schedule. This means we have every other Friday off, allowing us to get more accomplished in fewer days and enjoy three-day weekends every other week. We work a hybrid schedule – 3 days in the office and 2 days at home. We offer health insurance, 401K, 3 weeks paid vacation, 11 paid holidays a year, and many opportunities for internal promotion, mentoring, professional development, and leadership.

Both full time and part time positions available.

Qualifications

In every aspect of your role, you will embody KWSM core values:

• Creative
• Communicative
• Uncommonly Organized
• Team-oriented
• Social
• Passionate
• Loyal
