WordPress / Web Operations Specialist

We are looking for a strong WordPress specialist to support an ongoing web maintenance and platform operations engagement for a large, multi-page organizational website.

This is not a simple landing page or one-time build. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with an established WordPress ecosystem, maintaining existing functionality, supporting plugin and theme updates, improving site stability, and coordinating with SEO, QA, and project management teams.

The project environment includes WordPress, WP Engine hosting, third-party integrations, technical SEO, privacy and compliance work, cookie consent management, and ongoing website performance improvements. AOM’s RFP specifically highlights WordPress development, WP Engine maintenance, technical SEO, privacy/compliance, CMP implementation, accessibility, and global privacy law compliance as priority areas.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain and improve WordPress website functionality, plugins, themes, and integrations
• Manage WP Engine environments, updates, PHP upgrades, and troubleshooting
• Resolve bugs, performance issues, redirects, and plugin conflicts
• Support technical SEO (metadata, canonicals, schema, Core Web Vitals, crawlability)
• Assist with accessibility improvements and privacy/compliance tasks (GDPR/CCPA, cookie consent)
• Work with reusable components, templates, and third-party integrations
• Communicate technical updates clearly in English

Requirements:

• 4+ years of WordPress experience
• Strong knowledge of custom themes, HTML, CSS, JS, PHP
• Experience with plugin compatibility testing and staging/production environments
• Familiarity with WP Engine or similar hosting
• Understanding of technical SEO basics
• Attention to detail and ability to work safely on production websites
• Good written English

Nice to have:

• Experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, Higher Logic, or similar systems
• Experience with CMP/cookie consent tools
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and privacy compliance
• Experience with large content-heavy or membership websites
• Familiarity with Google Search Console, structured data, and technical SEO audits
